Computer Simulation * A software program that runs on any computer that attempts to simulate some phenomenon based on a scientist’s conceptual and mathematical understanding of the given phenomenon. * The scientist’s conceptual understanding is reduced to an algorithmic or mathematical logic‚ which is then programmed in one of many programming languages (Fortran‚ C‚ C++‚ etc.) and compiled to produce a binary code that runs on a computer. * Have become a useful part of modeling

UNIT-I INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER The term “Computer” is derived from the Latin word “Computare” which means “to compute” or “to calculate”‚ so it is considered to be calculating device. In fact‚ the main objective of inventing the computer was to create a fast calculating machine. But now-a-days more than 75% of non-mathematical or non-numerical work is carried out by the computers. Today‚ computer technology has spread to every sphere of existence of modern man‚ from railway

Computer Memory Basics Although memory is technically any form of electronic storage‚ it is used most often to identify fast‚ temporary forms of storage. If your computer’s CPU had to constantly access the hard drive to retrieve every piece of data it needs‚ it would operate very slowly. When the information is kept in memory‚ the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store data temporarily. As you can see in the diagram above‚ the CPU accesses memory according

Computer Multimedia Sam Quesinberry Computers have come a long way very fast since there start in the 1940’s. In the beginning they were mainly used for keeping financial records by banks and insurance companies‚ and for mathematical computations by engineers and the U.S. Military. However‚ exciting new applications have developed rapidly in the last few years. Two of these areas is Computer Graphics and sound. Computer graphics is the ability of the computer to display‚ store and transmit

Computer Hardware came about when machines needed separate manual actions to be able to perform specific mathematical functions. Luckily in 1941‚ a man by the name of Konrad Zuse invented what was considered the first working‚ fully operable computer. Prior to this‚ most of the calculations were done manually to calculate by people with adding machines. Today these adding machines are better known as calculators. Back then‚ all you had to do is push buttons‚ but in today’s modern software technology
