Paperback. For advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in System Simulation or Simulation and Modeling. This text introduces computational and mathematical techniques for modeling, simulating, and analyzing the performance of various systems. Its goal is to help students gain a better understanding of how systems operate and respond to change by: 1) helping them begin to model, simulate, and analyze simple-but- representative systems as soon as possible; and 2) whenever possible, encourage the experimental exploration and self-discovery of theoretical results before their formal presentation. The authors' approachable writing style emphasizes concepts and insight without sacrificing rigor. This volume introduces computational and mathematical techniques for modeling, simulating, and analyzing the performance of various systems. Helps readers gain a better understanding of how systems operate and respond to change by: 1) helping them begin to model, simulate, and analyze simple-but-representative systems as soon as possible; and 2) whenever possible, encouraging the experimental exploration and self-discovery of theoretical results before their formal presentation. Features an approachable writing style that emphasizes concepts and insight without sacrificing rigor. Provides C software as source code for running simulations developed in the book, eliminating the need for readers to do all their programming from scratch. Emphasizes an algorithmic approach throughout. A useful reference for industrial engineers. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
