Operations Research

Revised and updated to reflect recent advances, Introduction to the Mathematics of Operations Research with Mathematica®, Second Edition focuses on the topics of graph theory, linear programming, stochastic processes, and dynamic programming. Integrating technology into the development, this second ..

Due to a lack of appreciation of the true economic identity of projects, techniques and metrics that could hugely improve project selection and performance are not being used. This book provides insights and innovative techniques drawn from more than a quarter century of experience. These techniques..

From plant layout and materials handling to quality function deployment and design considerations, this book explores topics crucial to the efficiency of a well-planned facility. This third edition of a classic provides the information and analytical tools necessary to move from product designs to p..

A comprehensive yet concise resource, Operations Research and Management Science Handbook provides an overview of operations research methods and applications. Drawing on a mix of international authors, the handbook explores the latest topics in OR/MS and examines recent developments in the field. T..

Presents the analytical results and formulas needed in the scientific applications of operations research and management. This book provides quick calculations and insight into system performance...

This book explores an extremely important issue in convex optimization: optimality conditions. The text focuses on finite dimensions to allow for much deeper results and a better understanding of the structures involved in a convex optimization problem. The authors include examples, details of major..

Most books on risk analysis focus on risk assessment. This book treats the whole of risk analysis—risk management, risk assessment, and risk communication—in an integrated fashion. The author combines the three tasks of risk analysis into a framework that supports decision making in an uncertain env..

Suitable for a first course in probability theory, this textbook covers theory in an accessible manner and includes numerous practical examples based on engineering applications. It covers conditional probability, independence, and approximations...
