5.0 out of 5 stars
A great practical resource,
This review is from: Simulating Ecological and Evolutionary Systems in C (Paperback)
This is a unique book, in that it is heavy on the practical aspects of implementing ecological simulation theory. I'm tired of picking up academic books which just re-hash the usual theory and only vaguely describe how one may implement it. The basis of simulation is experimentation. How one implements the model in programming code is as important as the underlying model itself (garbage in/garbage out) - the author clearly guides the reader through implementation, AND also provides an very clear description of the theory behind the equations.The coding style is clear. It is not cluttered with unecessary programming structures (no OOP here) - it just gets the job done. One suggestion for future editions would be: information on large-scale implementations of ecological simulations i.e. the technical and coding issues one encounters in real-life research projects (e.g. parallel implementations, speed issues etc.) |
