Introduction to Linear Optimization (Athena Scientific Series in Optimization and Neural Computation, 6)

Very cool book

Este libro me salvo la vida en mi clase de Optimizacion. Es un tema duro, pero muy interesante. Tiene el rigor necesario para maestría en matemáticas. Me sirvió mucho en la sección de Degeneracy, basic solutions y un poco la parte de los costos. No he podido leerlo más a detalle para los demás temas (Interior point y más allá...) pero sin duda, valió la pena la compra.

Book in excellent condition!

good quality

The best part of this book is the first half, where the foundations of linear programming are presented in a clear yet relatively rigorous fashion, accompanied by numerous intuitive geometrical explanations of the abstract general concepts. This approach, supplementing mathematics with graphical insights, works extremely well for this topic.The quality goes down somewhat, perhaps neccessarily, in the latter half of the book as topics are presented less carefully, and in a somewhat rushed manner in order to cover all of the material the authors decided to include. Given that the fundamentals are covered so well, perhaps this is a fair trade.The only real negative I can think of is that it's a small crime for professors to create their own publishing companies (Athena only publishes works by a small group of MIT professors) and then still charge outrageous amounts for the books. This would be completely unacceptable were it not for the fact that, unlike most self-published work, this book's production quality is on par with that of the large publishers.
