Operations Research uses a balanced combination of theory, applications and computations to help you learn the basics of operating research (OR). It focuses on algorithmic and practical implementation of OR techniques. Easy-to-understand numerical examples explain often difficult math concepts, helping you grasp the foundational idea without getting stuck on complex theorems or notations. Full case studies and math-free anecdotes show how algorithms are used in real-life applications.The 11th Edition introduces analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning topics that strengthen and streamline the decision-making processes involved in OR. New stories, 3 new chapters, new case studies and sections provide an up-to-date introduction to the field of OR.

Poole’s "Linear Algebra: A Modern Introduction, Cengage International Edition", 5th, prepares students to transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and application, the conversational writing style combines traditional presentation with student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational and applied topics are presented in a flexible, integrated way. Stressing geometric understanding before computational techniques, vectors and vector geometry are introduced early to help students visualize concepts and develop mathematical maturity for abstract thinking. Numerous applications drawn from a variety of disciplines reinforce that linear algebra is a valuable tool for modeling real-life problems.

An essential reference for practitioners and students of quantitative financeFinancial analysts and investment bankers rely greatly upon the mathematical finance (also known as computational finance) when seeking to establish the value of financial instruments. Nowhere is that more true than in the pricing of commodity and foreign exchange derivatives. While there are many guides to pricing commodity and foreign exchange derivatives, until now there were none whose focus is on making the complex mathematics involved accessible for students and practitioners. This fourth and final volume in the landmark Problems and Solutions in Mathematical Finance series does just that. Its unique problem/solution, step-by-step approach dramatically streamlines the learning process for anyone attempting to get to grips with the mathematical modeling of commodity and foreign exchange derivatives.Builds upon the ideas in the previous three volumes to school you in the essential mathematical concepts and
