Problem-Based Learning: A Didactic Strategy in the Teaching of System Simulation

This book describes and outlines the theoretical foundations of system simulation in teaching, and as a practical contribution to teaching-and-learning models. It presents various methodologies used in teaching, the goal being to solve real-life problems by creating simulation models and probability distributions that allow correlations to be drawn between a real model and a simulated model. Moreover, the book demonstrates the role of simulation in decision-making processes connected to teaching and learning.

A general, descriptive and didactic introduction on the use of simulation systems in probability distributions Helps the reader to solve real-life problems Describes how the different simulation methods can be used to analyze phenomena and problems
