The game of life

Worksheet overview

Description:

This unit focuses specifically on "Simulation as a formal model". Most of the ideas and content of this unit have been taken from the last three units of Martin Gardner's book "Wheels. Life and other Mathematical Amusements".(W.H. Freeman and Company 1983), which specifically focus on the Game of Life. It uses a simple game to simulate social or biological behaviour based on a simple mathematical model Despite its simplicity, we shall look in more detail at its far reaching implications.

Teaching orientation:

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Previous knowledge is not necessary

KNOWLEDGE TYPE: procedural

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: To produce a simple, abstract mathematical model which can simulate a "quasi-real" situation. Discover how simple rules and game structure can give rise to incredibly complex, unexpected results. Discover how the model under study can be related to other fields of knowledge. Learn how to carry out a systematic study on a mathematical model in order to make conclusions about it. To enjoy working with this little wonder.
