This text is written for students in operations research, management science, or systems analysis. It is particularly slanted toward the student with a limited background in mathematics. The topical coverage of the text represents an attempt to present, in a single volume, the fundamental mathematical background necessary for advanced study in areas dealing with the quantitative analysis of management systems. While emphasis is placed upon an understanding of the mathematical concepts presented and the computational methods resulting application of these methods to practical problems are also given through examples.
