Schaum's Outline of Operations Research

This book makes a good supplement to any O.R. book (example, Taha or Hillier). It is NOT meant to be a standalone course book. Readers should use it as a problem solving supplement. Overall it is well written and makes a useful manual for suppplementary material.Readers wishing to obtain a book to use as a standalone manual are recommended to consult books authored by Taha or Hillier.

This book makes for a very readable, self contained introduction to the subject through clear examples. As the other reviewers have pointed out, it does not go very far. But, given the price you should not be disappointed. I am told that the majority of day to day operations research can be handled with just the contents of this book.

Bronson's book is a classic on OR. It's obligatory reading for any person who studies, teaches or uses it as work tool. Nice buy, but the Kindle version is better viewed on the free apps (I read it on my iPad, e.g.).

Is a good review of general topics in OR

i am an eng. doctor in engineering college university of anbar - iraq and i see this book is a good in prepare my lectures in water resources economy and planning

Good short review of the subject. A bit too terse and lacking in a clear thread of examples in places.

You can't go wrong here!

Same with the Schaum's version of Operations Research as I had anticipated it to be a typical How To book on understanding Operations Research but it wasn't.

C OK

Great intro text. to the point with lots of solved problems!

I liked the paper-based book I had a few years ago, wanted a copy as I lost that one.

It is a book, does help with the course work.

Extremely helpful for quickly mastering the key concepts.No non sense , straight to the key concepts.
