Abstract

Engineers and educators find in computer simulations a powerful substitute for inability of calculus to produce closed form solutions to modern problems. But the validity of quasi‐closed‐form solutions produced by computers remains suspect. While no magic test exists, pieces of algorithms can individually be examined by the Z‐transform [E. I. Jury, Sampled‐data control systems, John Wiley & Sons, 1958]. Two examples from engineering and three from education are presented. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 21: 75–88, 2013
