Mathematical Modeling & Simulation
Home Work # 2
Due date: One week after the distribution of this assignment in the class
1. Define a system and its main types. What are important steps towards
creation of a model of a system?
2. Differentiate between a state maintaining, a goal seeking, a purposeful and a
reactive system. Give examples from daily life to clarify each class.
3. What are major parts of a model of a system? How one can identify them;
provide examples to describe each part.
4. Where physical models are used and how they are different from the actual
systems? How industry is employing physical models for simulation
purposes? Make a detailed study for one system.
5. Explain discrete and continuous models. How a stochastic model differ from
a deterministic model, explain briefly?
