INTRODUCTION TO OPERATION RESEARCH HILLIER F. Księgarnia

For over four decades, Introduction to Operations Research by Frederick Hillier has been the classic text on operations research.

While building on the classic strengths of the text, the author continues to find new ways to make the text current and relevant to students. One way is by incorporating a wealth of state-of-the-art, user-friendly software and more coverage of business applications than ever before. The hallmark features of this edition include clear and comprehensive coverage of fundamentals, an extensive set of interesting problems and cases, and state-of-the-practice operations research software used in conjunction with examples from the text.

The website will include solutions, 100 worked examples, articles, a testbank, companion software, and eight bonus chapters as well as case studies.
