1: great OR book
This is a grat book, it covers a broad area of operations research. It is equally good for students, professors and profesionals. Very good explanations and applied exercises from real life.
Definetly a must buy.

Love the text. Has a lot of basic information starting from basic algebra. Any one who is interested to learn Non-linear programming needs to have this book. Great content.

Operations Research is an emergent science!!!
This book provides a complete approach to Hard OR, like modelling and all the required Mathematics...

4: Standard Text - Riddled with Flaws
I'm guessing you're on this page because this is your textbook. It works reasonably well for a text, but there are many, many errors. One important problem you should check IMMEDIATELY when you get your copy: some versions double printed pages 705-736 and did not print 737 to 768. These would be the first sections of chapter 13 -- Decision Making under Uncertainty. It is pretty important for the stochastic course, but not so important for the deterministic course (the first part of the book). There are websites that have errata, but even the errata sheets I've found are incomplete. Hopefully your prof should be aware of the flaws. I would NOT recommend this book if you have a coice in the matter. Many of the errors are very confusing to new students.
