Description
Computer simulation is an effective and popular universal tool that can be applied to almost all disciplines. Requiring only basic knowledge of programming, mathematics, and probability theory, Computer Simulation: A Foundational Approach Using Python takes a hands-on approach to programming to introduce the fundamentals of computer simulation.
The main target of the book is computer science and engineering students who are interested mainly in directly applying the techniques to their research problems. The book will be of great interest to senior undergraduate and starting graduate students in the fields of computer science and engineering and industrial engineering.

Reviews / Votes
"This book is highly recommended for a graduate course in modeling and simulation. It is also recommended for an introductory course in modeling and simulation for a senior undergraduate course. In addition, it can be a good reference for researchers, working engineers and scientists who work in modeling and simulation and optimization. It is a good addition to the field of modeling and simulation. I hope you will enjoy the book as much as I have enjoyed reviewing it."-Mohammad S. Obaidat, Past President of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International, SCS, and Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Communication Systems "This book is highly recommended for a graduate course in modeling and simulation.
