Classroom Use of Microcomputer Graphics and Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis to Demonstrate Petroleum Engineering Concepts.

Whitman, David L.; Terry, R. E.

CoED, v4 n2 p5-11 Mar-Apr 1984

A computer program which allows the solution of a Monte Carlo simulation (probabilistic sensitivity analysis) has been developed for the Vic-20 microcomputer. Theory of Monte Carlo simulation, program capabilities and operation, and sample calculations are discussed. Student comments on the program are included. (JN)
