Good textbook for simulation 
Teach how to use Arena to do simulation in details. Present so clearly that anyone can enter the simulation world easily.

This book is a absolute hassle for mini course takers in this subject or learner's on the fly.

All told, if you work your way through the book, you will understand Arena, a widely used programming language. Note, however, that the student version of the software in this book can only manipulate 15 entities.... more info
