9. Simulations

Computer simulations use computer models to also predict how a system will behave given a set of conditions. Again, they are created through mathematical formulas.

The difference between a model and a simulation is that a simulation also uses something physical to mimic the system.

A very good example of a simulation is a flight simulator.

Another exampleof a simulation is a thrill ride simulator somewhere like Disneyland.

Another form of simulation is Virtual Reality.

Try to come up with some reasons as to why using a simulation is a good idea.
