Description and Table of Contents

Description

The purpose of this book is to make available to students a presentation of the most exciting advances in mathematics since the invention of the calculus. These are the development and application of mathematical methods and analysis techniques that enable us to structure and solve important decision problems of business, industry, and government. This class of problems - decision problems - is different from the classical types in many respects. How it differs will become clear as you read the text.
