About the Author
Linus Schrage received his Ph.d. in Operations Research from Cornell University.
Currently a Professor of Production and Operations Management at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, he has been a professor or visiting professor at Stanford University, Pontificia Universidade Catolica of Rio de Janeiro, UCLA, and Universite Catholique de Louvain of Belgium.
After developing the LINDO linear programming software package in 1977, he founded LINDO Systems, Inc. in 1980. He was a key player in the development of the GINO software package for nonlinear programming in 1983, as well as, the spreadsheet optimizer that lead to the widely used What'sBest! spreadsheet optimizer in 1984. Today, he continues to assist in the development of the LINDO, LINGO, and What'sBest! software products.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A comprehensive treatment of optimization applications.,
By Tom Knowles (knowles@stuart.iit.edu) (Chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optimization Modeling with LINGO (Paperback)
I have used this book in a course that I taught on Optimization applications. The students like the wide range of realistic examples in the book. The resulting models are linear and nonlinear, with both continuous and integer-valued variables. For many applications in distribution, finance, and production, some of the template models can be used almost "off-the-shelf". For complicated applications, sophisticated students can use the modeling language to create new applications. The powerful spreadsheet interface is very useful for retrieving data from and inserting optimized results into spreadsheets. The software that accompanies the book is state-of-the art.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Wrong tool for the job,
By Peter Cacioppi (Eugene, OR, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optimization Modeling with LINGO (Paperback)
LINGO is a proprietary language with limited industry adoption. A better strategy would be to learn something like OPL, which is backed by IBM and has a much broader base of support. The OPL Optimization Programming Language
