Besides providing an excellent coverage of fundamental concepts and applications, the author uses simulation programming languages and covers also socio-economic problems. He introduces students to topics and techniques of system simulation and covers both continuous and discrete simulation.The book's illustrative problems come from a wide diversity of realistic situations in engineering, economics, business, medicine, biology, and socio-economics. Basic concepts of statistics and probability theory are reviewed in detail, and techniques for analyzing system simulation results are presented.
