Integer Programming stands out from other textbooks by explaining in clear and simple terms how to construct custom-made algorithms or use existing commercial software to obtain optimal or near-optimal solutions for a variety of real-world problems such as airline timetables, production line schedules, or electricity production on a regional or national scale. Integer Programming is an ideal text for courses in integer/mathematical programming - whether in operations research, mathematics engineering, or computer science departments. It is also a valuable reference for industrial users of integer programming and researchers who would like to keep up with advances in the field.
