Multiobjective Programming and Planning

This text takes a broad view of multiobjective programming, emphasizing the methods most useful for continuous problems. It reviews multiobjective programming methods in the context of public decision-making problems, developing each problem within a context that addresses practical aspects of planning issues.

An elegantly written book from a time when mathematics might have had a wider audience and explaining it all in plain English was lot more encouraged. A very easy read for some seemingly complex topics. The book is indeed dated because the literature has moved on since the 70s but this can serve as a great start for the beginner.
