Note that it uses exponential distributions, has an FEL with floating point values, and derives some results that may be of interest to you. See the Handouts page.

If you want to get a head start on the material, start reading the first 3 chapters of the Banks text (Discrete-Event System Simulation, Fifth Edition). Please carefully note the prerequisites for this course: CS 0447 (implying also completion of CS 0445) and a Statistics course. There will be some programming assignments (primarily in Java) and some "pencil and paper" assignments given throughout the term. A reasonable knowledge of probability and statistics is essential for success in this course (although you do NOT have to be a statistics wizard - a good introduction should suffice).
