Product Description
Discrete optimization models are used to tackle a wide variety of problems in many fields, including operations research, management science, engineering, and mathematics. Written by two internationally recognized integer programming experts, this book presents the mathematical foundations, theory, and algorithms of discrete optimization methods. [It is] an excellent introduction and survey of traditional fields of combinatorial optimization...[and] one of the best and most complete texts [on the subject] now available.?Optima.

I first used this book as a text for a graduate course in Integer Programming. At first it seemed to be a very poorly organized book, but as I read it and grew familiar with the subject, I realized that this is a hybrid textbook-handbook. Though the title says "Integer and Combinatorial", the authors go a step ahead and present topics in advanced linear programming, computational complexity, polyhedral theory in a fashion appropriate to the learning of this subject. The exercises are challenging and it has a very good list of references (only up to 1988). Our professor had to supplement the text with recent papers to cover the latest advances. My only complaint is that model formulation could have been dealt with in more detail. You might want to use HP Williams' "Model Building in Mathematical Programming" to look up good Math Prog models.
Though this is an excellent book in all respects, I would recommend Papadimitriou's older book on combinatorial optimization for a good discussion of P, NP problems and decision / optimization problems.

An excellent book for combinatorial optimization. This book provides with the basis of the integer programming problems and theories behind it.
Great MIP handbook December 1, 2008

This book provides the basis of integer programming and mixed integer programming. It focus on the mathematical programming to discuss the combinatorial optimization, not the graph theory way.
For the introduction level, Wolsey's book is better.

Don't let the title fools you. This book goes beyond Integer and Combintarial optimization. While there are many books talk about NP and proof, this book makes you "understand" it! Still, I agree with others that this book is a reference tool for Integer and Combinatorial optimization. I'm so glad this book published in paperback so it will be more affordable for others.... still expensive though :(
More than the title is Advanced Linear Programming March 29, 1999

Nemhauser and Wolsey named this book as Integer and Combinatorial Optimization. To me, this is an extreamly great book of Advanced Linear Programming and I love it!. If you're looking for a great pointer for Integer programming or Combinatorial Optimization, this is the one. If you want to know something more beyond your Linear Programming class, don't miss this book!
