About this title

Synopsis:

In real-world problems related to finance, business, and management, mathematicians and economists frequently encounter optimization problems. In this classic book, George Dantzig looks at a wealth of examples and develops linear programming methods for their solutions. He begins by introducing the basic theory of linear inequalities and describes the powerful simplex method used to solve them. Treatments of the price concept, the transportation problem, and matrix methods are also given, and key mathematical concepts such as the properties of convex sets and linear vector spaces are covered.

About the Author:

George B. Dantzig (1914–2005) is widely acclaimed as the father of linear programming and was a leading figure in the development of mathematical optimization, making important contributions to fields such as industrial engineering, economics, and statistics. He was professor emeritus of operations research and computer science at Stanford University.
