Operations Research: A Practical Introduction
Michael W. Carter, Camille C. Price · ODU Digital Commons (Old Dominion University) · 2000
Operations Research: A Practical Introduction is just that: a hands-on approach to the field of operations research (OR) and a useful guide for using OR techniques in scientific decision making, design, analysis and management. The text accomplishes two goals. First, it provides readers with an introduction to standard mathematical models and algorithms. Second, it is a thorough examination of practical issues relevant to the development and use of computational methods for problem solving. [From the publisher]
