Reader Reviews
This review is from: System Dynamics (3rd Edition) (Hardcover) This is a well crafted book by an author who is obviously familiar with the more classical approach to teaching this subject. Excellent and extensive treatment of example problems which help solidify concepts. Very few of those "it is left up to the student" phrases. The book's subject matter progression is one of the best I've read. The chapter on state space concepts comes a little late, but is well presented. An excellent book for review and practical applications.
