About the Book

Intended for courses in Management Science or Quantitative Methods. This best-selling text has long been considered one of the most student accessible texts for the management science course. The new edition retains and updates the traditional, comprehensive coverage of past editions but “fine tunes” the coverage and adds many new examples and exercises.
