Product Description
A practical, accessible guide to optimization problems with discrete or integer variables
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.
Incorporating recent developments that have made it possible to solve difficult optimization problems with greater accuracy, author Laurence A. Wolsey presents a number of state-of-the-art topics not covered in any other textbook. These include improved modeling, cutting plane theory and algorithms, heuristic methods, and branch-and-cut and integer programming decomposition algorithms. This self-contained text:
* Distinguishes between good and bad formulations in integer programming problems
* Applies lessons learned from easy integer programs to more difficult problems
* Demonstrates with applications theoretical and practical aspects of problem solving
* Includes useful notes and end-of-chapter exercises
* Offers tremendous flexibility for tailoring material to different needs
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.

 One of the most interesting books I've used June 3, 2001
Michael Benitah (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

This book features great contents. Integer programming is one of the most interesting subjects and this book captures the beauty of it through the use of nice explanations and a neat and organised notation. The author carefully describes the algorithms used to solve some of the classic integer programming problems. The theorems are generally followed by proofs and the contents are presented in a very comprehensive order.
 A Complete Referance May 10, 2000

I really like reading this book. It is upto date in terms of algorithms and theory. You can find nearly every basic topic about integer optimization in the book. I consider it as a complete referance in integer optimization. The sequence of the topics, chapters, also make it easier to understand the contents. The book gives both the theory and solution strategies. I recommend the book for people who work or study in the following areas:industrial engineering, operations research and operations management.
Very good! September 3, 2007

It has all the major subjects in IP and uses a mathematical approach very clear.

It's not good for the beginners who never have basic knowledge about linear, nonlinear, and integer programming. Too difficult to understand because it contains only theories.
