Written by a trailblazer in the field, this classic of mathematical programming and operational research first appeared decades ago. It remains ever relevant, offering advanced undergraduates and graduate students a coherent introduction to linear and nonlinear programming that emphasizes mathematical concepts and applications. It also constitutes an excellent reference. 1961 edition. Reprint of the Addison Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., Reading, Massachusetts, 1961 edition.
