Operations Research Models and Methods

Excel add-ins - Almost all of the examples in the text are solved with Excel, and solution files are included in the CD. Comprehensive Website - An abundance of teaching material exists on the website. The interactive tools can be used to re-enforce procedures taught in class, and an alternative teaching source is available to relieve the instructor of demonstrating procedures to students who are having difficulty with the material. Concise and Focused Presentation - Central ideas are easily located throughout the text, saving the student time from wading through unnecessary information. This also allows the instructor to focus on the core material of a topic without getting sidetracked. Examples and exercises throughout text use real data and real engineering situations. This motivates students to learn new concepts and gives them a taste of practical engineering experience.
