simulation and modeling

Simulation and modeling involve creating a virtual representation of a real-world system or process to study and understand its behavior. A model is a simplified version that captures key features, while a simulation runs this model over time to observe outcomes under different conditions. This helps we predict how things might work, test ideas, or make decisions without actual experimentation, saving time and resources. For example, in weather forecasting, models simulate atmospheric conditions to predict future weather patterns. Overall, these tools are essential for analyzing complex systems safely and efficiently.
