In this course we will explore computer models and simulations as a
means of studying environmental and natural phenomena. We will use
NetLogo as a software/programming tool for developing environmental
simulations. We will also introduce some of the important topics in
the discipline of computer science, including algorithmic reasoning
and data abstraction. In addition to the NetLogo programmable modeling
environment, students will also be introduced to Java programming. No
prior experience in programming is expected or required.
Prerequisites: none
