5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent intro - but look for a used copy
By Just a Guy on November 19, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Almost every other text I have seen on dynamic programming, particularly stochastic dynamic programming, and related subjects, has been way too theoretical to be of much use to me. While I'm mathematically literate, my main interest is in algorithms and applied probability (big on the "applied" part).

At least to me, this book is just about perfect. The emphasis is on dynamic programming applied to discrete optimization problems, including all the usual goodies (shortest paths, knapsack, optimal stopping, and more), although some continuous models are also included (eg. exponential, Poisson). The exposition is driven by worked examples, rather than by theorem and proof. The style is precise, but straightforward and practical - very easy to follow. How it covers so much so well in only 200 pages is remarkable.

It is however, way overpriced, so look for a good used copy.
