Simulation Modeling and Analysis (Mcgraw-hill Series in Industrial Engineering and Management)

Arrived perfectly. As to the contents, explanations are a little murky at times. It asks you to skip to certain sections at explanations so you’re jumping back and forth and sometimes the relationship is not clear at first but take this part w a pinch of salt (maybe I’m dumb). Very useful diagrams.

I have used Simulation Modeling and Analysis for many years, first in graduate school and then for my work. It has an extensive discussion of most major topics in discrete-event simulation, including validation of models, choosing probability distributions to represent system randomness, designing and analyzing experiments, random number generation, and simulation software. It’s really valuable to have so much information on simulation in one place, as well as many references for future study. The book is also very error free. The fifth edition has a new chapter on agent-based simulation, which taught me a great deal about the subject including its relationship to discrete-event simulation.

This was the textbook for my simulation class, and I didn’t find it very interesting. It didn’t increase my interest in the course like other sources did.

This is a heavy book. It has fine print. Reputable author. I never used the book for the Simulation​ Modeling class I took.

Ordered for a class. Didn't use it much.

I finally started using the book for school and the book is multiple pieces due to the spine being split.

The book is in pretty good shape

Just what i needed.
