Description
Linear Programming by Trustrum provides a mathematical theory of the subject, focusing on applications and techniques for solution. This book introduces the theory of games in chapter five, establishing a relationship between matrix games and linear programmes. It assumes prior knowledge of matrix algebra and covers background information required, using notation introduced by P.M. Cohn. The book is based on an 18-lecture course given to Mathematics and Physics undergraduates, with several examples worked out throughout the text. Each chapter follows with a set of examples, demonstrating key concepts. The author thanks their husband for valuable suggestions and Professor W. Ledermann for encouraging them to write this book. With its focus on mathematical theory and practical applications, Linear Programming is an ideal resource for those looking to understand the subject.
