DESCRIPTION:
The proofs of theoretical results are kept to a minimum so that the book is easy to read even for non mathematics students. It is an excellent textbook on linear programming at an introductory level."--ZENT. The main objective, to provide a textbook that is readable by students in business, engineering, and computer science, seems to have been achieved.A rich set of more than 280 exercises, real-life projects and further reading suggestions successfully stimulates learning."--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS"The book is very clearly written with many illustrative examples and exercises. "The book presents the basic ideas of linear programming and related areas by not using a rigorous approach. FUR MATHEMATIK UNDIHRE GRENZGEBIETE
Authors Kolman and Beck present the basic notions of linear programming and illustrate how they are used to solve important common problems. Other topics covered include: the Duality Theorem; transportation problems; the assignment problem; and the maximal flow problem. The authors also recommend inexpensive linear programming software for personal computers.Please note the previous printing included a disk attached to the back of the book. Linear programming finds the least expensive way to meet given needs with available resources. The software on the included disk leads students step-by-step through the calculations. The material is now only available on the companion website -elsevierdirect/product.jsp?isbn=9780124179103* More review material on linear algebra * Elementary linear programming covered more efficiently * Presentation improved, especially for the duality theorem, transportation problems, the assignment problem, and the maximal flow problem * New figures and exercises * Computer applications updated * Companion website on elsevierdirect with the student-oriented linear programming code SMPX, written by Professor Evar Nering of Arizona State University * New guide to inexpensive linear programming software for personal computersPlease note the previous printing included a disk attached to the back of the book.

A good book Bryan Urizar This is a good book. Everything is well explained and each section has many examples. The only thing I would complain about is that the examples should probably have been placed before the theorem statement/proof as it would help the reader understand the proof. The material is all very straightforward and. HeadChef6Awesome book HeadChef64 This book was really useful. It has plenty of examples and problems to work through. It also presents the material in a really clear and easy to follow manner. The only thing that I thought could be done better is that it didn't have enough proofs of some important theorems.. said Awesome book. This book was really useful.
