To this reviewer’s knowledge, this is the first book accessible to the upper division undergraduate or beginning graduate student that surveys linear programming…. The presentation is admirable; Karloff's style is informal...without sacrificing anything necessary for understanding. ...Recommended highly for acquisition, since it is not only a textbook, but can also be used for independent reading and study.
