On Friday last week's simulations are due. Comments: Feel free to use whatever language you want (Maple, C++, Java, ETC...) to produce you simulations. If you use a language other than Maple, then please briefly explain what you intended for your code to do. You will turn in three things for each problem: (1) the code, (2) the simulations results, and (3) the conclusions you made based on these simulations. You can either (1) Blitz these components to me, (2) print them out and turn them in, or (3) post them on a web site and send me the URL (this last option would be the most convenient for me).
