PHYS 220:Scientific Modelling at Macquarie University

Another short annotation, another URL
...

On-line repositories of course materials that contain units we might consider:

Computational Science Education Reference Desk (CSERD), a Pathways component of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), http://www.shodor.org/refdesk/

Documents, readings, assignments:

Tutorial on Agent Based Modelling (potential reading?) (Nate has the actual pdf) ACM Digital Library
