About this product

Product Information

Authors Wayne Winston and Munirpallam Venkataramanan emphasize model-formulation and model-building skills as well as interpretation of computer software output. Focusing on deterministic models, this book is designed for the first half of an operations research sequence. A subset of Winston's best-selling OPERATIONS RESEARCH, INTRODUCTION TO MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING offers self-contained chapters that make it flexible enough for one- or two-semester courses ranging from advanced beginning to intermediate in level. The book has a strong computer orientation and emphasizes model-formulation and model-building skills. Every topic includes a corresponding computer-based modeling and solution method and every chapter presents the software tools needed to solve realistic problems. LINDO, LINGO, and Premium Solver for Education software packages are available with the book.

  • not well organized

    Using this book for an optimization class. The organization is pretty bad. It attempts to separate different concepts that are all tied together. It's also pretty bad at telling what's going on and why you do certain things. The examples are not all solved to completion until you go to other sections or chapters. Overall, you probably can't learn the concepts well just by using the book. However, it is a fairly good supplement to a class and has some good examples.

  • Quick delivery. Good quality.

    This is a book for my husband's Master classes in Electrical Engineering. The book itself is filled with numbers and letters and none of it makes sense to me. However, my husband's grades are staying good, so the book must be helping.

  • Best Value

    Price is easily lowest I've seen on internet. Great for resale for profit or for students needing the textbook.
