Abstract
This book is about the application of digital simulation (DS) to electrochemical problems. What is digital simulation? The term “simulation” came into wide use with the advent of analog computers, which could produce electrical signals that followed mathematical functions which might describe or model a given physical system. When digital computers became common, people began to do these simulations digitally and called this digital simulation. What sort of systems do we simulate in electrochemistry? Most commonly it is electrochemical transport problems that we find difficult to solve, in all but a few model systems — when things get more complicated, as they do in real electrochemical cells, problems may not be solvable algebraically, yet we still want answers.
