Add to basketThis text provides a practical, hands-on introduction to the fundamental concepts of mathematical programming and network science. Particular emphasis is placed on linear programming, mathematical modelling and case studies, the implementation of the Simplex Method in Python, and classical techniques from nonlinear convex programming. The text also features a discussion of mathematical programming within the context of algebraic modelling languages. Further, it includes material on matrix games, decision analysis, multicriteria optimization and non-directed networks. Designed as an introductory resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, the book assumes only a modest mathematical background. Readers who have completed a second course in linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and an introductory course in probability and statistics will find the more advanced portions of the text especially accessible. Researchers and professionals in mathematics, engineering, technology, economics, business, and other quantitatively oriented fields will also find this book a valuable reference.A distinguishing feature of this text is its strong emphasis on case studies. Numerous examples are developed in detail, either worked out within the text or explored through exercises and abstract model formulations. This pedagogical approach fosters both intuition and a structured understanding of the representative models that form the foundation of the field. A rich collection of end-of-chapter exercises enables readers to apply concepts and deepen their mastery of the material. A chapter dependency chart further supports independent learners by suggesting an effective study sequence and assists instructors in organizing coherent course structures.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Rarewaves USA United, Coral Springs, Florida, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
