Rating:  - good to have but not to learn from
I disagree with the other reviewer. This is a textbook on linear programming and its extension written by George Dantzig the inventor of the simplex method. Even though the simplex method is still popular and useful there are other interesting algorithms that were dsicovered in the 1980s and 1990s that have theoretical and in some cases practical value.
In 1974 I was a graduate student in Operations Research ae Stanford and I took the three quarter mathematical programming course sequence. ... Read More
Rating:  - Review of Dantzig's book
This softbound newly reprinted edition is clear and light; considering the original version I knew back in 1970's was a thick, heavy hardbound.
The book is a compilation of several authors on linear programming, it includes a table explaining the genesis of linear programming and the programming code for computer calculation.
It is a rich and indispensable book for optimization problems.
