Title: Bad presentation
Review: This book explains linear programming concepts using tableaus. Tableaus are obsolete. If you want to solve a linear program, you use Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, GNU Octave or some other computer program. If you want to understand the simplex algorithm, you should study the linear algebra approach, and not tableaus.The book is badly organized, the font is ugly and the theory is spread over zillions of examples. Definitions are hard find. The algorithms are presented in a very cumbersome manner. The exercises are so many you don't bother even to read them. I would be nicer with a few, carefully selected, exercises.The book would not be nice for an introductory course since everything is presented in such an obfusacted way. For a second course, it's not useful either, since instead of solid theory it contains only the mentioned zillions of examples.
Is the review positive or negative?
