The market-leading textbook for the course, Winston's OPERATIONS RESEARCH owes
much of its success to its practical orientation and consistent emphasis on
model formulation and model building. It moves beyond a mere study of algorithms
without sacrificing the rigor that faculty desire. As in every edition, Winston
reinforces the book's successful features and coverage with the most recent
developments in the field. The Student Suite CD-ROM, which now accompanies every
new copy of the text, contains the latest versions of commercial software for
optimization, simulation, and decision analysis.
