内容説明

Thanks to the spreadsheet, simulation modelling is now accessible to anyone with a microcomputer. In this book, the author aims to explain how to create models of different environmental phenomena. These range from natural processes such as the dispersion of water and air pollution, to social processes such as housing affordability. The book offers complete "recipes" for building and running the models in the most popular spreadsheet programs, such as: Lotus 1-2-3, SuperCalc, Excel and Quatro. A 3.5" diskette, containing Lotus or SuperCalc data files for all 14 models may be ordered, using a tear-out card accompanying the book (spreadsheet software is required).

目次

  • Part 1 Modelling natural systems: blowing smoke - atmospheric dispersion of air pollution
  • running water - the underground transport of pollutants
  • preserving the species - determining minimum viable population
  • sustainable yield - managing the forest for the trees
  • here comes the sun - solar energy from a flat-plate collector. Part 2 Modelling social systems: macroeconomic policy - econometrics and the Klein model
  • urban form - the Lowry model of population distribution
  • affordable housing - the Bertraud/World Bank model
  • traffic on the roads - modelling trip generation and trip distribution
  • throwing things away - a model for waste management
  • apples and oranges - an environmental impact assessment model. Part 3 Modelling artificial systems: life in a spreadsheet - John Conway's game
  • the game of choice - neighbourhood tolerance
