The purpose of this chapter is to provide a framework for what this book is to cover. Which are the types of questions that it aspires to answer, and what are the kinds of knowledge that you, the reader, can expect to gain by working through the material presented in this book? What are the relations between real physical systems and their mathematical models? What are the characteristics of mathematical descriptions of physical systems? We shall then talk about simulation as a problem solving tool, and finally, we shall offer a classification of the basic characteristics of simulation software systems.
