TY - BOOK AU - Taha, Hamdy A., TI - Operations research : : an introduction SN - 9789352865277 U1 - 658.4034 23 PY - 2018/// CY - Noida : PB - Pearson KW - Operations research N2 - "Operations Research provides a broad focus on algorithmic and practical implementation of Operations Research (OR) techniques, using theory, applications and computations to teach students OR basics. 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. With the Tenth Edition, the author preserves classical algorithms by providing essential hand computational algorithms as an important part of OR history. Based on input and submissions from OR students, professors and practitioners, the author also includes scenarios that show how classical algorithms can be beneficial in practice. These entries are included as Aha! Moments with each dealing with stories, anecdotes and issues in OR theory, applications, computations and teaching methodology that can advance the understanding of fundamental or concepts. Features Added text mini-updates appear throughout the book."-- ER -
