Features: This book is an optimization methods textbook that emphasizes practical applications while also providing a certain depth of theory. It includes fundamental and widely applicable optimization methods such as linear programming, transportation problems, integer programming, goal programming, nonlinear programming (unconstrained and constrained optimization), dynamic programming, etc. Each chapter introduces concepts with examples, proves key theorems, introduces corresponding mathematical models and algorithms, and includes algorithm examples with detailed steps. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, and solutions with hints are included at the end of the book. Additionally, the book dedicates a chapter to examples using the new version of the MATLAB software package and LINDO/LINGO optimization software packages for calculations. When explaining basic concepts and theories, the book strives for clarity and thoroughness, includes thought-provoking questions in appropriate places to encourage readers to delve deeper and enhance their understanding. The language is designed to be simple, easy to understand, and accessible to facilitate student learning.
