Investigating Complexity Using Excel and Visual Basic.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zetie, K. P. – Physics Education, 2001
Shows how some of the simple ideas in complexity can be investigated using a spreadsheet and a macro written in Visual Basic. Shows how the sandpile model of Bak, Chao, and Wiesenfeld can be simulated and animated. The model produces results that cannot easily be predicted from its properties. (Author/MM)
