In a rapidly developing field like Operations Research, its easy to get overwhelmed by the variety of topics and analytic techniques. Paul Jensen and Jonathan Bard help you master the expensive field by focusing on the fundamental models and methodologies underlying the practice of Operations Research. 
Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the author presents the quantitative tools and models most important to understanding modern operations research. You'll come to appreciate the power of OR techniques in solving real-world problems and applications in your own field. You'll learn how to translate complex situations into mathematical models, solve models and turn models into solutions. This text is designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice by presenting the quantitative tools and models most suited for modern operations research. The principal goal is to give analysts, engineers, and decision makers a larger appreciation of their roles by defining a common terminology and by explaining the interfaces between the underlying methodologies. Features <ul>

Contains a synthesis of the more important techniques, both recent and traditional related to network flow programming. Emphasis concepts rather than proofs and presents a complete exposition of the total spectrum of single commodity network flow programming problems, ranging from such basic topics as network storage techniques and handling representations to such advanced topics as stochastic and generalized networks. Provides an estensive bibliography to the literature which presents theoretical underpinnings of the subject.
