Linear Programming (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: This book has two fundamental objectives: (1) to carefully motivate and explain the basic ideas underlying linear programming and (2) to apply these ideas to a wide variety of mathematical models. In order to achieve these objectives, the authors provide more than the usual number of examples and offer clarity of presentation over abstraction. Students will be able to grasp readily the material presented and apply the material to a number of challenging problems.This book has two fundamental objectives: (1) to carefully motivate and explain the basic ideas underlying linear programming and (2) to apply these ideas to a wide variety of mathematical models.
