computer simulation JUST WRITTEN FOR YOU

/kəmˈpjʊtər ˌsɪm.jʊˈleɪʃən/ · com·pu·ter sim·u·la·tion
noun
  1. A computer program or model that mimics the behavior of a real-world system, process, or phenomenon, often used for predictive, analytical, or educational purposes. The researchers used a computer simulation to model the effects of climate change on global weather patterns.
Did you know? The first computer simulation was likely the 'Monte Carlo method', developed in the 1940s by physicist Stanislaw Ulam, which used random sampling to simulate complex systems. This pioneering work laid the foundation for modern computer simulations, which are now ubiquitous in fields such as science, engineering, and finance.
