Introduction to the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains

"The big attraction of this book is its timeliness: many engineers and scientists are currently becoming interested in iterative methods for solving large linear systems and eigenvalue problems. The book assembles together in a nicely presented form a large set of numerical techniques, including the most recently developed ones. It offers comparisons that will be very helpful to the specialist as well as the beginner. On the whole, this is an excellent text."--Yousef Saad, University of Minnesota"I know of no other book that has the same breadth of coverage as this one by William Stewart. Because it is both comprehensive and well-organized, this work will be valuable as a reference book and for use in the classroom."--Richard Muntz, University of California, Los AngelesStewart, William J. is the author of 'Introduction to the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains' with ISBN 9780691036991 and ISBN 0691036993.
