A Computer-Assisted Analysis System for Mathematical Programming Models and Solutions

A primer to accompany a computer-assisted analysis system for mathematical programming models and solution called ANALYZE. ANALYZE is designed to provide computer assistance for analyzing linear programs and their solutions. Although this primer is self-contained, knowledge of linear programming is assumed. The exercises throughout the book show how to use ANALYZE to retrieve information, but it does not explicitly teach what information to obtain. The book is intended for people who already use linear programming. In the latter case, ANALYZE serves to support an LP laboratory, along with lectures, and the exercises need classroom discussion to guide the students. The book is accompanied by a DOS version of ANALYZE on 3.5" diskettes and "A Laboratory Manual for Teaching Linear Programming" is available on request.
