The book can be used conveniently in a survey course that encompasses all the major tools of operations research, or in two separate courses on deterministic and probabilistic decision-making. The author preserves classical algorithms by providing essential hand computational algorithms as an important part of OR history UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qwb26h5b_NKn6jowvpiu1LAxmv0zqlxG/view?usp=sharing ER -
