• Linear Programming for the Non-Mathematician
  When researching how to use LPs, I came across many, many books that told me how LPs worked and gave me enough information that I could implement my own LP solver, had I the time and inclination. This is the first book I found that concentrated on how to think about problems so that they could be solved by an LP. Ultimately, my solution was far more complex than anything presented in the book, but the book gave me the initial patterns I needed to get started.
  If you're finding LPs a hard concept to... more info

• An Illustrated Guide to Linear Programming
  The book is very good for introducction to the applications of Linear Programming. It will be useful for first time students of Operations Research.The explaination is very simple and innovative. The later part of the book introduces matrix algebra which is the gist of Linear Programming at the advanced stage.

• An effective introduction to Linear Programming
  For someone with an interest in learning LP but not the best mathematical foundation for learning it, this book worked for me. I think the author is an experienced teacher of people with math skills such as mine and knew how present the material and explain it in familiar terms.
  The book does not have all the material I need but did get me going in a confident manner so I could handle the other books I bought before I bought this one.

• Great intro to Linear Programming
  This book is a great non-technical introduction to a very technical subject: linear programming. If you are interested in linear programming but you don't want to all of the mathematical details, then buy this book. Hey, you can't beat the price.

  By the way, how can anyone expect a book like this to tell someone how to apply linear programming. Doing that requires a lot more technical training and there are other more detailed and more expensive books that explain how to apply linear programming. This... more info
