Reviews

From the reviews: This book offers lengthy descriptions of simulations in general, and specific kinds of systems in more depth. The chapters cover a broad range of topics. ... The book also contains nine appendices on useful mathematical tools, such as differential equations, quaternions, and the convex decomposition of polyhedra. ... The target audience is software developers interested in using dynamic simulations as part of their software. (Jeffrey Putnam, Computing Reviews, July, 2013)
