System Modeling I asked Fermi whether he was not impressed by the agreement between our calculated numbers and his measured numbers. He replied, \How many A model is a precise representation of a systems dynamics used to answer questions via analysis and simulation. The model we choose depends on the questions that we wish to answer. System dynamics is a modeling approach used to construct simulation models of social systems, and these computerized models can then support policy analysis and decision making.
