Operations Research Series
About the Book Series
Operations Research (OR) uses mathematical models and techniques to solve complex management problems. OR provides a quantitative analysis of the problem from which the management can make an objective decision. OR has drawn upon skills from mathematics, engineering, computer science, economics, and statistics to contribute to a wide variety of applications in business, industry, government, and military. OR methodologies and applications continue to grow and flourish in a number of decision making fields. The series will address this important and emerging area (computational or applied) and provide students, practitioners, and researchers a single source guide in a specialized application or computation area of operations research. These books will be comprehensive but concise, authoritative, easy to read, and should bridge theory and practice.
If you are interested in writing or editing a book for the series or would like more information, please contact Cindy Carelli, [email protected].
