This extensively revised fourth edition of this well-known and muchpraised book contains a great deal of new material. In particularsections and new problems have been added covering RevenueManagement. Hydro Electric Generation, Date Envelopment(efficiency) Analysis, Milk Distribution and Collection andConstraint Programming. The book discusses the general principlesof model building in mathematical programming and shows how theycan be applied by using simplified but practical problems fromwidely different contexts. Suggested formulations and solutions aregiven in the latter part of the book together with computationalexperience to give the reader a feel for the computation difficultyof solving that particular type of model. Aimed at undergraduates,postgraduates, research students and managers, this bookillustrates the scope and limitations of mathematical programming,and shows how it can be applied to real situations. By emphasizingthe importance of the building and interpretation of models ratherthan the solution process, the author attempts to fill a gap leftby the many works which concentrate on the algorithmic side of thesubject.
