and the pedagogy of programming.
Project Title
Beginning NKS
Abstract
Students new to NKS who want to start doing their own experiments may
wish to
have some guidance about designing, coding, and performing NKS
experiments. In traditional science course, the scientific method in an
abbreviated form is taught as a guide to doing experiments. I present
an abbreviated method for doing NKS experiments. I also present a program
design methodology for a functional subset of Mathematica based on the
ideas presented in the book "How to Design Programs".
Favorite 3-color Cellular Automata
Rule Chosen: 1002401554
Reason: I chose this particular CA
out of my search as my interesting
example. There are structures present in the left random region that interact
with other structures comes down out the random mass. These will sometimes
produce large regions of stability in the midst of randomness.
