Reviews

The focus on broadness, simplicity and targeting the non-practitioner audience is the main reason for this book in my opinion. While this book is not targeted to experienced practitioners, the author's description of the modeling and simulation method in Chapter 2, along with descriptions of lessons they have learned, is a worthy read for novices and experts alike. Take advantage of the concise wisdom and insight offered herein. -Grant Cates, Orlando, Florida, USA ...an excellent undergraduate introduction to M&S concepts that are truly relevant and useful in any and all engineering subdisciplines. The presentation is largely independent of both software and application domains, and yet still manages to communicate and explain a way to approach the use of simulation tools for decision support and systems analysis. -James E. Moore, II, USC Viterbi School of Engineering, USC Price School of Public Policy, University of Southern California, USA
