A practical introduction to linear programming and game theory for the curious learner.
This edition aims to bring the fundamentals within reach for readers who are mathematically unsophisticated but eager to understand how these techniques help business and economics.
This book grows from a clear goal: to teach the why behind the methods, not just the how. It invites you to learn by stepping through examples and building intuition before tackling heavier math.
- Discover how linear programming and game theory connect to real economic problems.
- See how duality links different problem forms and what that means for solutions.
- Follow a gentle path from basic concepts to more practical applications in business contexts.
- Develop confidence to explore how these tools can inform decision making.
Ideal for readers of economics and operations research who want a solid, accessible grounding in these techniques.
