Operations research : applications and algorithms / Wayne L. Winston ; with cases by Jeffrey B. Goldberg. - 4th ed. - Australia : Thomson/Brooks/Cole, c2003. - xvi, 1418 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. + 1 CD-ROM (4 3/4 in.)
Includes index.
1. Introduction to model building -- 2. Basic linear algebra -- 3. Introduction to linear programming -- 4. The simplex algorithm and goal programming -- 5. Sensitivity analysis: an applied approach -- 6. Sensitivity analysis and duality -- 7. Transportation, assignment, and transshipment problems -- 8. Network models -- 9. Integer programming -- 10. Advanced topics in linear programming -- 11. Nonlinear programming -- 12. Review of calculus and probability -- 13. Decision making under uncertainty -- 14. Game theory -- 15. Deterministic eoq inventory models -- 16. Probabilistic inventory models -- 17. Markov chains -- 18.deterministic dynamic rogramming -- 19. Probabilistic dynamic programming -- 20. Queuing theory -- 21.simulation -- 22.simulation with process model -- 23. Spreadsheet simulation with @risk -- 24. Forecasting.
The market-leading textbook for the course, Winston's OPERATIONS RESEARCH owes much of its success to its practical orientation and consistent emphasis on model formulation and model building. It moves beyond a mere study of algorithms without sacrificing the rigor that faculty desire. As in every edition, Winston reinforces the book's successful features and coverage with the most recent developments in the field. The Student Suite CD-ROM, which now accompanies every new copy of the text, contains the latest versions of commercial software for optimization, simulation, and decision analysis.
System requirements for accompanying CD-ROM: Microsoft Windows.
