John Wiley & Sons, 2002, 546 + 16 pages, ISBN 0-471-15043-6

This book is intended for engineers and applied scientists who need to solve real-world problems using mathematical programming models. The exercises at the end of each chapter also make the book suitable as a textbook in graduate-level courses. Familiarity with matrix algebra, calculus, and analytical geometry (e.g., cones and convex sets) is essential for a full understanding of this book. This book emphasizes the understanding of the issues ...
