Description
Linear Programming An Introduction with Applications by Alan Sultan is an accessible guide to this essential area of applied mathematics. Unlike many other books on the subject, which assume a strong background in linear algebra, this second edition presents linear programming from a very elementary point of view, using only basic knowledge of high school algebra as prerequisites. The author skillfully weaves together complex ideas with informal proofs, making even subtle aspects of the subject more understandable. Exercises are carefully chosen to illustrate a range of practical applications, and solutions are provided for many of them, allowing readers to appreciate the wide applicability of linear programming in real-life problems. This book is suitable for both students and self-study, as it can be used as a primary text for courses or as a resource for those looking to learn more about this useful subject.
