Product Description

The market-leading textbook for the course, Winston's OPERATIONS RESEARCH owes much of its success to its practical orientation and consistent emphasis on model formulation and model building. It moves beyond a mere study of algorithms without sacrificing the rigor that faculty desire. As in every edition, Winston reinforces the book's successful features and coverage with the most recent developments in the field. The Student Suite CD-ROM, which now accompanies every new copy of the text, contains the latest versions of commercial software for optimization, simulation, and decision analysis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Standard Text - Riddled with Flaws, Dec 3 2006

By Redbeard "Cyclotourist" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Operations Research: Applications and Algorithms (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac�) (Hardcover)

I'm guessing you're on this page because this is your textbook. It works reasonably well for a text, but there are many, many errors. One important problem you should check IMMEDIATELY when you get your copy: some versions double printed pages 705-736 and did not print 737 to 768. These would be the first sections of chapter 13 -- Decision Making under Uncertainty. It is pretty important for the stochastic course, but not so important for the deterministic course (the first part of the book). There are websites that have errata, but even the errata sheets I've found are incomplete. Hopefully your prof should be aware of the flaws. I would NOT recommend this book if you have a coice in the matter. Many of the errors are very confusing to new students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent General Text, May 10 2009

By Mike Morgan - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Operations Research: Applications and Algorithms (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac�) (Hardcover)

This is an all around good book in an area that seems to have far to few books worth mentioning. Although I still think OR texts spend too much time on issues like linear programming, I think this has a good breadth of topics.

The CD is a great learning aid for any student. The problems seem fairly up-to-date and should engage the students.

5.0 out of 5 stars great OR book, Oct 16 2007

By Krevetka35 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Operations Research: Applications and Algorithms (Paperback)

This is a grat book, it covers a broad area of operations research. It is equally good for students, professors and profesionals. Very good explanations and applied exercises from real life.
Definetly a must buy.
