Optimization in Operations Research
- Book Review,
by Ronald L. Rardin
From Book News, Inc.
Intended as an introductory undergraduate/graduate operations research text for students in engineering, mathematics, programming, and management (as an elective), Rardin (industrial engineering, Purdue U.) expounds primarily on the mathematical programming half of OR with deterministic optimization modeling as central. Intended to be a pragmatic guide to problem-solving with such models, and planning and design applications in all flavors of programming (linear, integer, nonlinear, and multiobjective), numerous examples and algorithms (including simplex) are formulated. "Zigzagging" concludes the index. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
