Very Good
A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. No obvious damage to the book cover, with the dust jacket (if applicable) included for hard covers. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Some identifying marks on the inside cover, but this is minimal. Very little wear and tear. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

The book represents a valuable text for courses in statistics and stochastic processes, so it is strongly recommended to libraries. -- Hassan S. Bakouch, Journal of Applied Statistics, The book represents a valuable text for courses in statistics and stochastic processes, so it is strongly recommended to libraries. ---Hassan S. Bakouch, Journal of Applied Statistics, "Clear and pleasant to read, this book distinguishes itself from comparable textbooks by its inclusion of the computational aspects of the material." --Richard R. Muntz, University of California, Los Angeles, "The book represents a valuable text for courses in statistics and stochastic processes, so it is strongly recommended to libraries."-- Hassan S. Bakouch, Journal of Applied Statistics, "This is an excellent book on the topics of probability, Markov chains, and queuing theory. Extremely well-written, the contents range from elementary topics to quite advanced material and include plenty of well-chosen examples." --Adarsh Sethi, University of Delaware, "The book represents a valuable text for courses in statistics and stochastic processes, so it is strongly recommended to libraries." --Hassan S.

Synopsis
Probability, Markov Chains, Queues, and Simulation provides a modern and authoritative treatment of the mathematical processes that underlie performance modeling. The detailed explanations of mathematical derivations and numerous illustrative examples make this textbook readily accessible to graduate and advanced undergraduate students taking courses in which stochastic processes play a fundamental role. The textbook is relevant to a wide variety of fields, including computer science, engineering, operations research, statistics, and mathematics. The textbook looks at the fundamentals of probability theory, from the basic concepts of set-based probability, through probability distributions, to bounds, limit theorems, and the laws of large numbers. Discrete and continuous-time Markov chains are analyzed from a theoretical and computational point of view. Topics include the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations; irreducibility; the potential, fundamental, and reachability matrices; random walk problems; reversibility; renewal processes; and the numerical computation of stationary and transient distributions.The M/M/1 queue and its extensions to more general birth-death processes are analyzed in detail, as are queues with phase-type arrival and service processes. The M/G/1 and G/M/1 queues are solved using embedded Markov chains; the busy period, residual service time, and priority scheduling are treated. Open and closed queueing networks are analyzed. The final part of the book addresses the mathematical basis of simulation. Each chapter of the textbook concludes with an extensive set of exercises. An instructor's solution manual, in which all exercises are completely worked out, is also available (to professors only). * Numerous examples illuminate the mathematical theories * Carefully detailed explanations of mathematical derivations guarantee a valuable pedagogical approach * Each chapter concludes with an extensive set of exercises, Offers a modern and authoritative treatment of the mathematical processes that underlie performance modeling.

- n***m (94)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFast shipper. Item was well-packaged and arrived in great shape. There was an issue with the enclosed CD that the seller was unable to correct, so the seller made a prompt and full refund for my purchase. Given this is an OOP album, the issue was likely not due to any fault of the seller, and I appreciated the quick response and refund. I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.
- h***1 (238)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe condition was exactly as described and the quality of Doug packaging shows he's cares very much about the quality of his items he sells. The pictures match 100 percent of what your getting and his very fair on his prices for what he has. Would buy from again. Also shipping was fast it was sent out the small day I paid and got it 2 days early. Thanks Doug.

Was packaged extremely well, with an abundance of packing material, and shipped to me very quickly. The item was as described/pictured. No surprises. Excellent seller. Thank you very much. So excited to have this in my collection
