Computational Study of System Dynamics

Introduction

This session considers computational approaches to the study of chemical kinetics. Illustratrated are various computational methods: simulations, mathematics methods, and graphical interface differential equation solvers. The three-part laboratory considers using spreadsheets, a graphical interface differential equation solver (GIDES) , and Mathcad to describe several types of first order reaction mechanisms.
