perations research is the study of optimization techniques. Designed to cater to the syllabi requirements of Indian universities, this book on operations research reinforces the concepts discussed in each chapter with solved problems. A unique feature of this book is that with its focus on coherence and clarity, it hand-holds students through the solutions, each step of the way. Salient Features

Graphical solution to linear programming problems discussed by means of appropriate examples

Economic interpretation of dual variables explained and various computational techniques elucidated

Applications of the simulation model in practical business problems illustrated

Detailed analysis of the critical path method (CPM) and the project evaluation review technique (PERT)

Non-linear programming problems, quadratic programming and separable programming highlighted along with their applications
