The text starts by having the reader develop simple high-level models, and then progresses to advanced modeling and analysis. Statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments is integrated with the modeling chapters, reflecting the importance of mathematical modeling of these activities. An informal, tutorial writing style is used to aid the beginner in fully understanding the ideas and topics presented. The academic version of Arena and example files are available through the book's website. Verified instructors can also download a 30-seat site license of Arena for use in their course. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Arena 5th - Good Intro to SimulationFeb 27, 2010
By M. Joyce
"text head"
Using this as text in first ever simulation class. Although somewhat dry and difficult to read, this text provides a good background to use of Arena. Software itself is quite capable and outstrips the ability of the book to address many how-to's. I would recommend a companion workbook to serve as more of a user guide to Arena.
 Disappointing Online SupportMay 19, 2012
By Hal Cheng
This is yet another book that is sold with the promise of additional resources to be found online. Unfortunately, these resources won't download, and the McGraw Hill website blocks any attempts to ask questions or obtain answers. Considering how expensive the book is in the first place, there really is no excuse for the poor level of service. I feel cheated.

 Arena OverdriveNov 14, 2009
By J. Fernandez
"Teamgomez"
If reading telephone books is your cup of tea, then this book is for you. If you're new to software 'programming' (understand that you're not writing code for Arena; however, the approach to designing your model and inputting the necessary data is a similar process), then this book's singular approach to demonstrating the techniques required could be quite maddening. Only real gripe other than an entire book written in same pitch/font/spacing is that references for end of chapter assignments point to later chapters in the book (i.e. material not yet covered) and subsequent chapter problems make the reader go back to previous chapters to dig out the problem specifics.
Overall, a very detailed explanation of Arena that needs help from 'the other side of the brain' to reach to those who didn't grow up in a computer lab and view problems in 256 colors vs black and white.
