Paperback. Condition: Good. Written by a trailblazer in the field, this classic of mathematical programming and operational research first appeared nearly 50 years ago. It remains as relevant today as at the time of its initial publication, offering advanced undergraduates and graduate students a coherent introduction to linear and nonlinear programming that emphasizes mathematical concepts and applications. The first rigorous treatment of a wide variety of programming topics, this text features numerous worked-out examples and problems. It also constitutes an excellent reference work for professionals in the fields of mathematics and statistics, operations research, and management science.The opening chapters lay theoretical foundations for subsequent topics, surveying the algebras of linear inequalities and duality, graph theory, and combinatorial theory. Explorations of general and special algorithms follow, along with considerations of the uses of duality and selected applications. Final chapters examine parametric, nonlinear, discrete, stochastic, and dynamic programming. The text concludes with an appendix, in which readers unfamiliar with matrix theory will find a helpful exposition of relevant topics.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Mathematical Games and How to Play Them. Book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This refreshingly authoritative look at recreational mathematics illustrates winning strategies that use the methods of algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and graph theory. Its lucid analyses of the rules and theories of mathematical games include skill-enhancing exercises, in addition to detailed references, appendixes, and question-and-answer expositions that explain the basic theories.Serious but not heavy-handed, this treatment covers games for one and two players, a theory of games, and rankings. Games in which chance plays a part, such as card games, are not considered. The accessible and appealing approach does not require an extensive background in mathematics. A source of stimulation for students, this volume will also interest practicing and aspiring mathematicians and offer inspiration and encouragement for the invention of new games.Steven Vajda was born in Budapest in 1901 and died in England in 1995. For the last twenty-two years of his life, he was Visiting Professor of Mathematics at Sussex University. As a prominent teacher, lecturer, and author, he played a vital role in the development of mathematical programming and operations research and wrote more than a dozen books and many research papers on these and other topics including game theory. This book uses methods of algebra, geometry, combinatorics, number theory, and graph theory to analyze the rules and theories of mathematical games and to offer winning strategies. 1992 edition.
