Simulation and Modelling

Simulation and modeling involve creating representations of real-world processes or systems to study their behavior under various conditions. A model is like a simplified version of reality, while a simulation is the execution of this model over time to observe outcomes. For example, scientists might model climate change to predict its effects on weather patterns. This helps in decision-making by allowing people to test scenarios without real-world consequences, aiding in fields like engineering, healthcare, and economics. Essentially, it’s about using small-scale or virtual experiments to better understand complex situations.
