This very readable book presents an elementary introduction to linear programming in a refreshing, often humorous style.Requiring no math beyond high-school algebra, the book shows how linear programming can help anyone reach the optimum solution for a host of diverse problems. Chapter One introduces the basic concepts of linear programming and discusses its relationship to other mathematical models. Chapter Two discusses the formulation of linear-programming problems, including detailed treatment of problems involving diet, catering, assignment, and activity analysis. Chapter Three briefly introduces solution techniques for linear-programming problems, emphasizing the graphical approach. The final chapter describes and formulates a number of important applications, including network problems, traveling-salesman problems and the relationship between linear programming and the theory of games.Finally, a useful appendix offers precise statements of definitions, theorems and techniques, as well as additional computational procedures. Enlivened with over 70 excellent illustrations, this book represents a very accessible introduction to basic linear programming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67769232064800,"sku":"NEW0486262588","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61bCu6g_rrL.jpg?v=1792004029","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/an-illustrated-guide-to-linear-programming-0486262588","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
