[PREFACE]"Many important decision problems can be formulated as integer programming problems. Recognition of this fact has stimulated a great deal of effort on the part of operations researchers/management scientists toward the development of efficient algorithms for solving integer programming problems. Much important work has been done in this area in recent years, but little has been done to make recent developments intelligible to the nonmathematician who needs an understanding of the subject to exploit its usefulness. (...)In this book we provide students of managerial analysis with an introduction to the field of integer programming. The mathematical background required is quite modest. At no time is the calculus or matrix algebra a requirement. Although an understanding of linear programming is assumed, an appendix is provided to bridge that gap should it exist. Despite the lack of a formal mathematics prerequisite, this book does require a willingness on the part of the reader to use symbols, algebra, and ordinary reasoning (which is often difficult for many of us!) (...) An important feature of this book involves the use of several FORTRAN programs for some mathematical programming algorithms. The purpose of these programs is to provide an easy way for the reader to obtain answers to problems without either the drudgery of hand computations or the necessity to write a computer program to perform the calculations. These programs are written in a proper subset of FORTRAN IV, which has intentionally been kept simple so that it can easily be changed to other versions of FORTRAN. The programs have been executed and debugged on a Control Data 6400 system." #NetworkAnalysis #instabooks #Mathematics #booksale #DiscreteOptimization #readersofinstagram #Integers #Books #Algorithm #CuttleboneBooks #BooksBooksBooks #ComputerScience #Bookworm #VintageComputing #Scarce #Algebra #Rare #collectiblebooks #booksforsale #instaread #ControlData6400 #Bookstagram #Antiquarian #Vintage #FORTRAN #bibliophile #bookcollecting
