Linear programming finds the least expensive way to meet given needswith available resources. Its results are used in every area ofengineering and commerce: agriculture, oil refining, banking, and airtransport. Authors Kolman and Beck present the basic notions of linearprogramming and illustrate how they are used to solve important commonproblems. The software on the included disk leads students step-by-stepthrough the calculations.
  The Second Edition is completelyrevised and provides additional review material on linear algebra aswell as complete coverage of elementary linear programming. Othertopics covered include: the Duality Theorem; transportation problems;the assignment problem; and the maximal flow problem. New figures andexercises are provided and the authors have updated all computerapplications.
