Optimization Techniques

This book departs from the heavy mathematical orientation generally experienced in the treatment of the subject matter. It presents the techniques and their computational aspects within a real world business environment. Each chapter explains the techniques using illustrative examples. A set of graded exercises (with answers) concludes each chapter to provide an opportunity for the keen students to reinforce what he learns, to test his progress and increase his confidence. However, the method of presentation and the arrangement of the subject matter reflects an approach to the exposition of quantitative techniques for business and highlights clarity and understandability.
