4.0 out of 5 stars It is not for self-study at all., June 27, 2001

It is for intermediate students or professionals. So you must know some basic linear algebra although it provides some. You can not check your solutions because it does not provide solutions manual. I did not try it`s software. Good for OR. I found it`s instructor`s solutions manual ISBN: 0-534-230-490. You can find it (online). You can find it`s instructor`s manual from w.ecampus.com, w.abebooks.com, w.opamp.com or w.alibris.com So you can check your answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for OR, June 9, 2000

4.0 out of 5 stars great, but the software doesn't work on windows 98/NT, September 23, 1999

That's it - it's a very informative and thorough book, but it's software only works on older Operating systems.
