In this textbook, George Dantzig, pioneer in linear programming (LP) theory, and Mukund Thapa, specialist in LP applications and software, have joined forces to produce this comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field.
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.
