This project was done as our final project for William Gilpin’s Graduate Computational Physics Course. Our complete GitHub repository, with instructions on how to replicate our results, can be found here. Introduction The goal of this project is to simulate the behavior of a bike-sharing system in a network of stations and destinations, and then optimize the positions of the stations. We approach the simulation of the bike-sharing system with Agent Based Modeling (ABM)....

At the very end of his lecture, Dr....
