Where to find more information:

  • Links - I have a big list of links to communities, organizations, simulators, polling sites, courses, videos, essays, books, references, and bibliographies.

Now that you have learned so much, you can try and share your ideas in the sandbox. Also, try the original simulation that this sim was based on.
