Laboratory, Notebooks & Workbooks
The Laboratory webapp
Every chapter of the book ends with a Webapp Laboratory section specifying a module: purpose, inputs, outputs, model assumptions, numerical method, suggested experiments (E1–E4), and validation checks. The laboratory implements those sections one-for-one, with the book’s seeds.
Per-chapter downloads
All three companions run the same Python engine — identical seeds, identical numbers.

Reproducibility
Seeds follow the book convention 2026NNNN and are printed in every output. The engine source lives in the mfaa-lab repository; the laboratory’s validation endpoint (/api/chNN/validation) re-runs each chapter’s checks on demand.
