B.1.1 Definition of Computer Modelling Notes
Definition
Computer Modeling
The process of creating a digital representation of a system or process to simulate its behavior under various conditions.
These models help us do the following without physically testing every possibility:
Predict outcomes
Analyse scenarios
Informed decisions.
Key Characteristics of Computer Models
Abstraction : Models focus on the essential features of a system, ignoring unnecessary details.
Simulation : They allow us to test scenarios and predict outcomes without real-world experimentation.
Iterative Development : Models can be refined over time as new data becomes available.
Examples of Computer Modeling
Financial Planning
Budget Forecasting : Models help individuals and businesses predict income and expenses, enabling better financial decisions.
Investment Analysis : Simulations can project the growth of investments under different market conditions.

Introduction to Computer Modeling
DefinitionComputer ModelingThe process of creating a digital representation of a system or process to simulate its behavior under various conditions.
These models help us do the following without physically testing every possibility:
Predict outcomes
Analyse scenarios
Informed decisions.
AnalogyThink of computer modeling like a flight simulator for pilots. Just as pilots can practice flying in different conditions without leaving the ground, computer models allow us to test scenarios without real-world consequences.
ExampleWeather forecasting uses computer models to predict future conditions based on current data.
NoteComputer models are used in various fields, from engineering and finance to healthcare and entertainment.
