Throughout, examples are used to illustrate key ideas such as the formulation of practical LP problems and to explain solution techniques such as the simplex method and interior-point methods. Theorems are made intuitively easy to understand by examples rather than by formal proofs, and the authors' emphasis is on providing clarity and motivation. The accompanying Windows - based software enables the student to formulate an appropriate model on a PC, input its data, obtain an optimal solution, and interpret the results. These features plus an excellent collection of exercises make the book ideal for those who come to this subject for the first time.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur:

Encompassing all the major topics students will encounter in courses on the subject, the authors teach both the underlying mathematical foundations and how these ideas are implemented in practice. They illustrate all the concepts with both worked examples and plenty of exercises, and, in addition, provide software so that students can try out numerical methods and so hone their skills in interpreting the results. As a result, this will make an ideal textbook for all those coming to the subject for the first time.
Authors' note: A problem recently found with the software is due to a bug in Formula One, the third party commercial software package that was used for the development of the interface. It occurs when the date, currency, etc. format is set to a non-United States version. Please try setting your computer date/currency option to the United States option . The new version of Formula One, when ready, will be posted on Www.
