Review

"This book is a very good option to be used as a textbook of supporting material for an undergraduate course on the systems approach for problem modeling and solving. The book gives an adequate and nice introduction to systems theory ... it should be recommended for students and perhaps practitioners with no prior knowledge of the systems approach."
