Discussion on the preknowledge of simulation science and technology

Preknowledge is the foundation of a discipline. First, the definition and construction of preknowledge are given. Fundamental knowledge, relevant disciplines knowledge and special applications knowledge totally three parts compose the preknowledge. Then, according to the characteristics and the development history of simulation science and technology (STT) discipline, the contents of the preknowledge of this discipline are put forward. Mathematics and physics belong to foundation knowledge; the knowledge of computer science and technology, systems science and control science and engineering belongs to the relevant disciplines knowledge; special applications knowledge is the knowledge of application field. The correlative and independent relationship between SST discipline and its preknowledge is mainly discussed and analyzed in this paper.
