Introduction to Mathematical Programming: Operations Research, Vol. 1 (Book & CD-ROM)

As described, good condition.

This book is a great introduction to optimization modeling at an undergraduate level. It is well written for students who don't want a very mathematically rigorous treatment of the subject (e.g., business students). It may be a bit too elementary for engineering or mathematics students, who want more rigor.

I'm a PhD student in operations research, and this is a great operations research book. Its sometimes confusing that it has so many names: Mathematical programming, linear programming (and non-linear), industrial engineering, operations research, optimization etc.So this is an optimization book, not a computer programming book. Mathematical programming refers to both linear and non-linear optimization. I would recommend this as an introductory book in both the theory and the modeling aspect of operations research/ linear and non-linear optimization.For more advanced theory I would recommend the following (advanced undergrads and graduate students):Linear Programming (LP): Introduction to Linear Programming by Bertsimas and Tsitsiklis.Non-Linear Programming (NLP): Convex Optimization by Boyd and VandenbergheBoth LP and NLP: Linear and Nonlinear Programming by David G. Luenberger and Yinyu Yeenjoy!

Product was as-presented. Good condition. CD included. No highlighting. Thank you.

.Decent Book but Boring.

Necessary book for the course I'm taking

Book is good but got it so late

I rented this book for school, and the spine was damaged which was fine. However, I didn't realize when I first flipped through the book that a huge chunk of chapter 4 was missing. So when we got to chapter 4, I didn't have the pages I needed. I really wish the product had been checked before being sent.
