 A timeless reference November 29, 2006

I won't repeat what the others have said. I will just say it is an excellent book. I first purchased the book in 1987 for a college class. Unlike most other computer books I've purchased through the years, this book is as valuable a reference today as it was in 1987. In fact, I refer to it so often (and lend it out so often) I have two copies, one in my home library and one on my quick reference shelf (right next to the dictionary) in the office. In my opinion, if one is serious about understanding simulations and computer modeling for analysis purposes this is a must have reference.
Read it if you need to write your first simulation program June 21, 2004

Before reading this book I didn't have a clue about simulation modeling, but after reading the first few chapters I was able to write my first simulation program in C++. Although authors use C language and global data for simulation state, you can easily apply the concept of simulation state to any object-oriented language and replace global simulation state with object state.

There are other books for giving you the simulation techniques and languages but to know the theory and statistics of simulation this is THE book.It startes with basics of statisstics and deals everthing you need to know about simulation. At some point you will start wondering how the authors could give so much information in just one book and lose lots of royalty money on the succeeding books.
Better understanding, rather than point and click February 6, 2001

This book is the ground foundation of simulation modeling. Currently, only few books in simulation will spend pages and time, dedicated to the theoretical issues as good as this book. If you're tired of point-and-click or "how-to making one server queueing system" and you want to know the fundamental of simulation, you can't overlook this piece of jewel. I don't agree with one review that you have to understand statistics in order to get this book. Simulation is a probabilistic model. Using simulation without understanding statistics results in serious trouble since it will be only a toy (data), not a tool (information.
