System Simulation by Geoffrey Gordon: A Comprehensive Guide

In the late 1960s, most people thought of computers as number-crunchers for payroll or ballistic trajectories. But Geoffrey Gordon, a researcher at IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center, saw something else: a mirror.

One former student, now a professor at MIT, put it this way: “Gordon didn’t give us a tool. He gave us a lens. Once you see the world as discrete events, you never look at a bank queue or a traffic jam the same way again.” system simulation geoffrey gordon pdf
