I have posted a 125 page set of notes entitled "System Dynamics Methods: A
Quick Introduction" on my web site at URL
http://www.public.asu.edu/~kirkwood/sysdyn/SDRes.htm
These notes were prepared for my system dynamics course in the Master of
Business Administration program at Arizona State University. The Vensim
notation is used, although the topics are general. My "Vensim PLE Quick
Reference and Tutorial" is also available at the URL listed above.
The chapter topics are:
Chapter 1: System Behavior and Causal Loop Diagrams
Chapter 2: A Modeling Approach
Chapter 3: Simulation of Business Processes
Chapter 4: Basic Feedback Structures
Chapter 5: Developing a Model
Chapter 6: Delays, Smoothing, and Averaging
Chapter 7: Representing Decision Processes
Chapter 8: Nonlinearities
Chapter 9: Initial Conditions
