An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming,
By Bran Smithe (Westport, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming (Paperback)
This book is an excellent treatment of linear programming for non-technical people. It describes a number of basic business-world applications that can be readily solved using standard linear programming methods. I recommend it highly because it presents the complex principles of this important methodology in an easy-to-read manner.

An effective introduction to Linear Programming,
By
This review is from: An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming (Paperback)
For someone with an interest in learning LP but not the best mathematical foundation for learning it, this book worked for me. I think the author is an experienced teacher of people with math skills such as mine and knew how present the material and explain it in familiar terms. The book does not have all the material I need but did get me going in a confident manner so I could handle the other books I bought before I bought this one.

An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming,
This review is from: An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming (Paperback)
The book is very good for introducction to the applications of Linear Programming. It will be useful for first time students of Operations Research.The explaination is very simple and innovative. The later part of the book introduces matrix algebra which is the gist of Linear Programming at the advanced stage.
