Back to Spring and Fall entries.

Today we started working in Vensim, a more graphing based program used to create models. The type of models we created this time were the rate of disease spreading. The main variables were put into boxes and the rates were represented by these arrows that you could also change the fractions for the rates. It also has a graphing function that you can use to represent all of the variables and rates on a graph that's also functional if you set the formulas for it. This form of modeling is currently my favorite one because I am addicted to graphing data so it was really fun to do. Although, I had to slow down so I wouldn't get ahead of everyone and accidentally mess up but something told me that I knew exactly was I was doing.
