The best book I've read on how to set-up & solve LP problems, September 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Linear Programming: An Introduction with Applications (Hardcover)
Alan Sultan has done something great! He has taken a complex subject, and made it undestandable to the average person.
I've just started my graduate program in Industrial Engineering, and need a good primer on LP problem function. My background in Comp.Sci. did not prepare me for the study of I.E. I needed a good resource to explain the fundamentals such that they could be quicky and easily comprehended.
Mr. Sultan's text provides a wonderful resource which helps me 'dechiper' my graduate level texts! Way to go, Alan!!

Fun to read, February 9, 2000
This review is from: Linear Programming: An Introduction with Applications (Hardcover)
Answers the question of what linear programming is used for in a very accessible example-based way. The book hasn't been written with heavyweights in the subject of mathematics and especially linear algebra in mind. Good college algebra course is enough to grasp most of the presented concepts. Basic Simplex, Lindo, game theory, transportation and network problems and many more are well explained. When you're through you'll get hooked on the subject and you'll have preparation for higher level stuff.
