Features: Operations Research is not only a fundamental course for management majors in many undergraduate institutions but is also increasingly offered in vocational and technical colleges, adult education institutions, logistics programs, construction engineering programs, and other management-related fields. The popularization of operations research education has been given high importance. In this context, we deeply felt the need for a textbook on operations research that reflects the characteristics of vocational education and aligns with its practical realities. As an attempt, we have developed this textbook, hoping to meet the teaching needs of operations research courses in vocational and technical colleges and adult education institutions. The textbook is designed with the principles of clarifying concepts, emphasizing applications, and cultivating skills, fully embodying the moderate and sufficient teaching principles of vocational education while also addressing the development of students' mathematical modeling abilities. The textbook has the following features:
1. Accurate concept explanations, thorough analysis of principles, and concise method steps;
2. Concise selection of materials with easy-to-understand language;
3. Reduced emphasis on logical proofs, fully reflecting the intuitive nature of mathematics;
4. Fully considers the mathematical foundation of students in vocational and technical colleges and adult education institutions, as well as the teaching needs of subsequent courses, effectively addressing the continuity of the operations research curriculum.
