Summary: A lot is missing
Comment: While I welcome the practical style, with to-the-point chapters, this book leaves a lot out. For instance, in Integer Programming, you will *not* see the branch-and-bound technique explained. The Simplex method is in the appendix! The whole book is dependent upon proprietary software, such as the Excel solver.
Because of the outrageous price and these "features", I recomend you get yourself a copy of the competition (e.g., Hillier), and stick more to "tradition", because it is much more likely to create a foundation. In today's fast moving world, we need foundations, not quick fixes.
I did appreciate the excercises, though, a lot of them with answers (but at this price?)

The objective of this management science book is to help the reader solve the decision-making problems that confront managers in both the public and private sectors. It demonstrates the use of mathematical models to solve these problems, and provides numerous examples and illustrations to help the reader easily understand the material presented. Its concentration on computer solutions with Excel spreadsheets allows the reader to focus on the newest technological tools. Topics covered in this comprehensive book are linear programming; integer programming; transportation, transshipment, and assignment problems; network flow models; project management; nonlinear programming; probability and statistics; decision analysis; queuing analysis; simulation; forecasting; and inventory management. With its comprehensive appendices and CD-ROM module examples, this book is an excellent reference work for managers that utilize modeling techniques to solve problems and make decisions.
