Publisher's Synopsis
Intended for Mathematical Programming courses at the undergraduate level. Course can be found in business schools-especially MBA programs-as Management Science and Operations Research. Providing the background in mathematics departments, the course may also be called Linear Programming or Optimization. Necessary to begin using mathematical programming as a tool for managerial applications and beyond, this empowering guide helps students learn to recognize when a mathematical model can be useful and helps them develop an appreciation and understanding of the mathematics associated with the applied techniques. Formatted in a flexible framework to suit individual course needs, it presents self-contained chapters later in the book which are designed to work in the order an instructor deems most suitable.
