About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

Used as textbook for Introduction to Operations Research course for first-year MBA students at Graduate School of Industrial Administration, Carnegie Mellon University, Fall 1980.

It's funny to fangirl over a textbook but I have to say this textbook made me love stochastic modelling and its applications. I cannot speak for every industrial engineer out there, but as an Industrial Engineering student I believe this book is way more abstract in some topics, which was something I liked a lot during the time I used this book.
I really hope to grasp all the concepts this book presented.

I used this book in my final year, mechanical engineering B.Sc. and it was very helpful.

The book is very extensive, it starts from basic level to advanced level in a gradual and harmonic way. It covers each and every concept, tool, technique, algorithm and problem solving method that I've ever known, and more than most people would need, both in studies and in industrial applications.

The 22 chapters are very interesting; very helpful explanation and solved examples, graphs, charts, tables. It's just wonderful. The use of spreadsheet and other solver software applications were the most interesting and helpful feature in the book too!

I skipped some advanced and unneeded chapters in the halfway, but I'm sure I will need to use this book forever and ever, both in study and work and even in life and fun!

Huge and thorough, and pretty well explained. Unfortunately, the subject matter itself (learning the intricate details of one algorithm after another) isn't quite as fun as I hoped!
