The Simulation of Dynamic Systems
Sidney Toby and Frina S. Toby
Department of Chemistry, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, 610 Taylor Road, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8087

November 1999
Vol. 76 No. 11
p. 1584
Abstract
A method, suitable for undergraduates, is given for simulating dynamic systems. The program used is free of copyright and when used with a fast PC will integrate a typical mechanism in a few seconds, making unnecessary any assumptions about steady states, quasi equilibrium, or rate-determining steps. The examples discussed include both chemical and nonchemical systems and vary in complexity from two steps for a simple population problem to 21 steps for a model of HIV infection. Included also are examples of oscillatory behavior. Questions for students are given for each of nine examples.
