Editorial Review:
This best-selling volume has long been considered one of the most user accessible books for management science. The new edition retains and updates the traditional, comprehensive coverage of past editions but now adds spreadsheet-based problem solutions to most chapters. In addition, the book is now packaged with free software. The authors provide a comprehensive introduction to quantitative analysis, probability concepts and applications and decision theory models, as well as forecasting, control models, linear programming models and applications, transportation and assignment models, integer programming, goal programming, nonlinear programming, and branch and bound models, network models, project management, lines and queuing theory models and statistical quality control. For those interested in a comprehensive, yet accessible presentation of QM for management.

Tiny font 2008-09-26
I guess they wanted to fit a lot of material into a small book so they made the font tiny. It looks like an 8pt font to me which makes it hard on the eyes after a long period of time.
The included software is quite helpful and I recommend having the software open as you read. Personally I found it helpful to use the QM software to do the problems in each chapter as I was reading.
None of the math in this book is much beyond algebra but there are a LOT of equations. Heaven help you if you have an instructor that expects you to memorize them all for exams.
Also, on mine, they put the cover on backwards. It isn't really a big deal but considering how much I paid for this book I think they should get the cover on correctly.
A book for graduates--Not undergrads  2003-10-28
After the first week of our class falling behind, my professor mentioned to our class that this book was the wrong format for undergrads. So this book is only good as the teacher and the students. It's easy to read, but hard to understand. And, the CD-ROM was not user-friendly enough, but had an awesome integration into MS Excel. I aced all of my math classes in college (undergrad), but this class...I'm not gonna to ace. But if you aced all math classes and you're using this book for a grad class, then go for it. Otherwise, find another book.
Great Book  2001-12-12
I had one of the worst instructors on the planet this semester. I literally had to teach myself this entire course.
This book made it so much easier. Great diagrams, simple explanations. I ended up with an A.
Easy to follow  2000-09-17
This book is easy to follow and the included cd makes solving the problems easy. It also has online links for each chapter.
