Problems In Operations Research (Principles And Solutions) is aimed at Computer Science, C.A. and Management studies students. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the concepts involved in the subject. Summary Of The Book Operations Research, also known as Operational Research, is a discipline that uses advanced analytical methods to facilitate better decision making. It also involves using computer simulations of problems, based on mathematical modeling and statistical analysis. This allows decision makers to study different approaches to the problem and assess the results, before actually implementing the method they think will work best. This book, Problems In Operations Research (Principles And Solutions), provides a thorough coverage of the subject. It starts with an introduction to the basic concepts of Operations Research, and the study of various methods like the Graphical Method and the Simplex Method. It explains concepts like Duality Theory, Investment Analysis, Decision Theory, and Dynamic Programming. It looks at modeling techniques like Assignment and Sequencing Models. The book also provides an overview of programming tools and methods used in Operations Research. It explains the principles underlying Operations Research and the methods used in conducting such research in a clear and lucid style. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all the concepts, and fulfils the aim of familiarizing the readers with both, the theory behind the science and its practical applications in real word situations. The book also provides problems on Operations Research as relevant to varied fields like engineering, management and business. It contains 270 illustrative diagrams, 1280 exercises with answers, and around 650 solved examples, all serving to further clarify the topics covered. Problems In Operations Research (Principles And Solutions) has been specifically designed for students who are studying courses like Engineering, Management, CA, CS, Statistics, and Economics. It is also a good choice for candidates preparing for exams to get into the IAS. About The Authors Prem Kumar Gupta is also co-author of Introduction to Operations Research. D. S. Hira is author of another book, Operations Research.
