About this book
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)Authors and Affiliations
