The science of Operations Research seeks efficiency and economy in organizational setups engaged in many economic activities. This book develops important mathematical models cropping up in different decision making situations in a general manner and then proceeds to give algorithmic development of methods of solution. Though the methods of solution are very diverse in nature, the mathematical tools employed are mainly matrix algebra and elements of probability theory. This book will be useful as a text for a one semester course in engineering and science and as a reference in economics and business administration.

Audience: Undergraduate & Postgraduate Students in Computer Science, Mechanical (Production), Construction and Chemical Engineering, Mathematics, Economics and Business Administration
