Abstract
These notes are for a summer school which will introduce mathematically minded year-12 high school students to simulation applied to science. The course considers the application of
1. discrete Monte Carlo techniques, and
2. continuous differential techniques to a reactor problem - the transmission of neutrons through mild steel. A considerable portion of the course is devoted to electronic computing using large scientific digital computers, minicomputers, microcomputers and hybrid, analogue-digital computers. These techniques are applied to the neutron transmission problem and other simulation processes.
