Re: matlab & simulink

[Nick Collier]

You can use Mathematica however. During a simulation conference here at
the University of Chicago a few months ago, Richard Gaylord gave a
tutorial on writing agent based simulations in Mathematica. He's got
several books out on writing simulations with Mathematica, only one of
which I've seen:
