Book Overview
A rigorous introduction to the theoretical concepts and computational techniques of linear programming and game theory. Illustrates how mathematics can be used to understand and resolve real world problems. Standard topics are covered--the simplex algorithm; duality; sensitivity; integer programming; the transportation problem; two-person, zero-sum, and non-zero sum games--and in the process, mathematical model-building is explained. Material includes meaningful examples and numerous exercises to reinforce and enhance understanding. Examples are used extensively, and the exercises (over 500) range in nature from model building and computation to theory. In this edition five new sections have been added, new problems included, and material expanded and improved.

A good introductory book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The first part of this book is a good introduction to linear programming and the simplex method. Easy reading, tries to give insight, and with lots of examples. My personal favorite when it comes to refreshing my intuition on duality and how simplex works. Regarding the game theory material, it seems to be a little crowded. Don't expect any in-depth coverage there, but as a brief overview it might be appropriate.
