Reviews

From the reviews: This is an introductory textbook to modeling and simulation that are considered as systematic approach to gain knowledge and results. ... The book is very suitable for the first touch with the topics. It contains very intuitive examples for learning. ... it has to be an excellent advertising of computer modeling and simulation. (Eduard Kostolansky, zbMATH, Vol. 1281, 2014)
