This is one of the first volumes in a new series of textbooks in operational research. The key objectives of the series are to provide concise introductions to the core topics in operational research focusing on the practical relevance of those topics to today's students and taking a non-mathematical orientation in favour of software applications. Each core subject will be paired with another core subject in order to provide maximum value for money for students.
