One may see this list as an obligation to look
after continuous progression. Figure 5 illustrates
this feeling:
recreated either larger or smaller than the original
by drawing a scale model and entering information
into computer's memory. Changing shapes on a
computer until a successful model is created can
create an interactive model. A mathematical model
is considered a set of mathematical equations that
describe physical laws, which define the features
or behavior of objects. One can design computer
graphics to picture an individual as a scale model,
while to describe how that person walks one has
to make a mathematical model. Physical model-
ing can be a subtractive modeling, by carving in
a block of material away everything that doesn't
belong to an object, or an additive modeling (also
called solid or constructive modeling) that involves
building up a model from simple pieces.
In computer science, computer simulation
translates real-world abstract models and physical
Ancestors, predecessors from the past,
Handed down all this for us. What obligation!
COMPUTER SIMULATION
The word simulation means to take on the appear-
ance or form of something, or to create a model; it
indicates imitation and presents how the real-world
processes or systems operate. It may also mean
the act of giving a false appearance. The word
model denotes a scale model or a mathematical
model. A scale model is a copy of an object,
constructed from smaller surfaces, that has been
