内容简介
由Kulkarni编纂的《Modeling, Analysis, Design, and Control of Stochastic Systems》一书较系统地讲解了随机模型的有关内容，其特点是重点介绍各种原理和方法的基本概念及其应用，对于较简单的一般问题，以容易理解和接受的方式给出其详细的证明过程，而对于较复杂的问题，则用直观的说明来代替复杂而抽象的证明过程，同时每个章节都有丰富的例子和大量的练习题，习题按照概念题和计算题分类，易于学生消化和巩固。
《运筹学（应用随机模型）》即为该书的影印版，其主要内容包括：基础概率论、马尔科夫过程、排队系统、最优设计、最优控制等。本书可作为工科类及经管类本科生教材。
