Combat Modeling (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science)
From the reviews:“This is a handy guide … about the various ways in which mathematics can be applied in war. The authors are clearly well qualified in the field and write clearly and authoritatively. … The book is very well written … . outstanding and is a rich source of examples that will be of great use for students and teachers of the subject whether or not their interests are military.” (I. Graham, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61 (10), 2010)“This book is devoted to the analysis of multifarious combat models, which are classified into nine groups. Each chapter corresponds to one such class. The authors start with a description of commonly used assumptions, which considerably simplify examination. … requires a basic knowledge of calculus, ordinary differential equations, probability theory, stochastic processes and optimization. Each chapter ends with a number of exercises. It is nicely written and can be a valuable … reference for those who are interested in combat models.” (Anna Jaskiewicz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1184, 2010)
