Further examination of Linear Programming -- 7. Other Math Programming techniques Frequently used in Business -- 8. Simulation: Introduction -- 9. Simulation of Queuing Systems -- 10. Decision Theory -- 11. Inventory Models -- 12. Scheduling and Control of Projects: CPM and PERT -- 13. Dynamic Programming and Shortest Path Analysis -- 14. Matrix Algebra: Basic Concepts and Applications -- 15.Differential Calculus: Basic Concepts and Application -- 16. Problems Without Identified Techniques Required for Solution.
Summary: This book is an introduction to quantitative methods, sometimes called management science or operations research, written for the upper-level business MBA student who does not have an extensive quantitative background. We assume that the reader has had introductory courses in statistics and algebra; a course in computer programming would be useful, but not essential. Written for the future manager who desires an overview of the techniques rather than in-depth knowledge, we have emphasized a managerial perspective rather than proofs and theorems. However, unlike many introductory texts, the materials are sufficiently rigorous to allow development of a sound knowledge base.
