Course Overview
Computer Simulations is a beginner-level course offered by the University of California, Davis that will introduce the students to the computer simulations which facilitate us to perceive the world with the help of computing simulations and come up with a dream society we would like to live in. Computer Simulations Certification Syllabus will equip the learner to build artificial societies and learn them with numerous practical computer simulation models.
The Computer Simulations Certification Course, offered by Coursera, is the fourth in five courses of Computational Social Science Specialization that could be completed within about 1 week. Computer Simulations Certification by Coursera is developed and toured by Martin Hilbert who is the Professor and Chair of DE Computational Social Science.
