I bought this book to learn the mathematical model behind a classic queuing problem - the problem of finite sources waiting for service - and how this applies to telephone traffic modelling. This is often called the 'repairman' problem.The book answered all my questions, and covered a huge wealth of other queuing solutions as well.

I used this book to supplement a course in queuing theory and found it to be not as helpful. The derivations of the various queuing models are difficult to follow. Queuing theory is not that hard once you get it, but this book doesn't seem to be ideal for beginners. I would recommend FUNDAMENTALS OF QUEUEING THEORY, instead. For those who already know some queuing theory, I guess this book would be okay. Personally, I gave it three stars, but I won't argue with people that rate it higher.
