Editorial Reviews: 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.

It is equally good for students, professors and profesionals. Very good explanations and applied exercises from real life. Definetly a must buy.

Any one who is interested to learn Non-linear programming needs to have this book. Great content. Customer Rating: Summary: Complete Book for Hard OR Comment: Operations Research is an emergent science!!! This book provides a complete approach to Hard OR, like modelling and all the required Mathematics... Winston is an old fox at this area. His books are previoulsy accredited! Customer Rating: Summary: Standard Text - Riddled with Flaws Comment: I'm guessing you're on this page because this is your textbook. It works reasonably well for a text, but there are many, many errors. One important problem you should check IMMEDIATELY when you get your copy: some versions double printed pages 705-736 and did not print 737 to 768. These would be the first sections of chapter 13 -- Decision Making under Uncertainty. It is pretty important for the stochastic course, but not so important for the deterministic course (the first part of the book). There are websites that have errata, but even the errata sheets I've found are incomplete. Hopefully your prof should be aware of the flaws. I would NOT recommend this book if you have a coice in the matter. Many of the errors are very confusing to new students. More Reviews
