This paper describes a student project in digital simulation techniques that is part of a graduate systems analysis course entitled Biosimulation. The students chose different simulation techniques to solve a problem related to the neuron model. (MLH)

A visual problem-solving technique applicable to several different classes of mechanics time-dependent problems is discussed. The computer is used to solve the equations of motion of various mechanical systems by one of several standard methods, and the solutions are displayed in time increments. A specific example is provided to illustrate this…
