Excerpt from Elementary Mathematical Programming
Operations research differs from almost anything else industry has done in the past, chiefly in method and approach to a problem. The techniques of operations research require an exacting state ment of the problem with all the variables and factors included with their proper interrelationships. This requirement causes a formulation of the problem which before this time was usually overlooked. Once this habit of precise formulation of problems is established, then the new viewpoint of operations research is pos sible in attacking industrial problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a highly accessible introduction to mathematical programming, a family of techniques used to help businesses make the best possible decisions from a range of options. The author explains the methodology of mathematical programming in a straightforward, step-by-step manner. Starting with the fundamental distribution method, the book progresses to the more general (and more challenging) simplex method. The author also explores approximation methods that can be employed to arrive at strong solutions quickly when time is of the essence. The book concludes with the presentation of several real-world problems and how mathematical programming was used to solve them. These examples demonstrate the book's insights on mathematical programming, which can be used to maximize profits and minimize costs in a wide range of business and industry scenarios.
