This appendix contains the programs used to perform some of the simulations presented in this book. They are implemented using Scilab, a high-level programming language oriented towards numerical computation. Interpreters are available as free software, for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, while an introduction to the language can be found in Reference 94. The readers are encouraged to try these programs, the source code of which can also be found by navigating the authors' homepages, and use them as a starting point to learn about simulation of dynamic systems.
