Overview
- Facilitates student understanding of decisions under uncertainty, a methodology common to a variety of courses including Systems Engineering, Operational Management, Decision Science, and Risk Analysis
- Covers in a single volume three distinct but related areas in engineering decision making, namely requirements discovery, tradeoff studies and risk analysis. These areas share common mathematical underpinnings; this insight allows readers to develop a sound understanding of techniques and their interpretation in each area
- Employs a visually orientated approach that requires only a modest background in probability and statistics
- Illuminates and summarizes key concepts with dozens of slides for each chapter, supplemented with 400 detailed figures and tables
- Reinforces understanding with specific homework examples
- Employs UML and SysML graphical modeling languages
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
