Customer Reviews

Very thorough and comprehensive

Love the text. Has a lot of basic information starting from basic algebra. Any one who is interested to learn Non-linear programming needs to have this book. Great content.

Complete Book for Hard OR

Operations Research is an emergent science!!! This book provides a complete approach to Hard OR, like modelling and all the required Mathematics... Winston is an old fox at this area. His books are previoulsy accredited!

THE BEST on Operations Research (Deserves 6 stars)

I think this book is the best up to date reference on Operations Research. The book is very well written, very didactic and addresses mainly the practical use of OR. That is, the book isnt so good for algorithm details but it is superb on modeling, interpretation and examples.

From Deterministic to Stochastic

This is one of the excellent industrial engineering books. From deterministic and simple linear programming to stochastic systems such as queueing models or dynamic programming, you may read and "learn" lots of things about OR. However, for stochastic cases you will need extra help for its matematics. But if you want to learn something about industrial engineering or something related with it, that is the book you must buy.

Another great text by Dr. Winston

A wonderful compendium of Ops algorythms. It has everything from linear programming to queing theory.
