why is modeling a simulation important to the fields of computer science

One can run a computer simulation in many electronic stores such as Apple as well as Best Buy. One can also buy a computer simulation to use at home one websites such as Amazon.

Computer Modelling is where you build a computer model used to predict the weather for example and computer simulation is when you simulate a real life situation. Computer simulation may be used to create a simulation of an aeroplane so that a pilot can use it to train.

An advantage of computer simulations are:

1.It is a lot more cost effective that using real aircrafts because if you crash no lives are at risk and damages dont have to be paid for.

A disadvantage is:

1.You cannot simulate the pressure that will be put on a pilot when hundreds of lives are in their hands
