Peer reviewedDanesh, Iraj – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Describes the deterministic simulation (a given input always leads to the same output) and probabilistic simulation (new states are subject to predefined laws of chance). Provides examples of the application of the two simulations with mathematical expressions and PASCAL program. Lists seven references. (YP)
