4.0 out of 5 stars
Karmarkar and back again,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linear Programs & Related Problems: A Volume in the COMPUTER SCIENCE and SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING Series (Hardcover)
Don't read this book expecting computer programming instruction in the "linear" language. It's a whole different animal of operations research. Linear programming concerns minimizing and maximizing linear functions under a set of linear constraints. This book brings the best problems to linear programming solves and the recent theorems. I found it's handling of the Karmarkar algorithm easier to follow than most other I've seen. It's hard to find information this current outside of journals.

Karmarkar and back again,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linear Programs & Related Problems: A Volume in the COMPUTER SCIENCE and SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING Series (Hardcover)
As an undergrad math major, I found this book incredibly helpful in understanding the Karmarker Algorithm or, more specifically, their twist on it. Some sections require many rereadings and the differences between their explanations and the original Karmarkar article are stark. But, overall, it's a clear a read as can be expected from an math/operations research text.
