Wiley encyclopedia of operations research and management science, 8 volume set

This is the only cohesive multi-volume major reference resource devoted to the field of operations research/management science theory, methodology, and applications. Featuring contributors from across the globe, it is organized alphabetically and contains four levels of articles (Introductory, Advanced, Technical, and Case Studies/Historical Interludes) designed to make its content useful and accessible to the widest possible readership. With its broad and carefully structured coverage of mathematical theory, algorithms, modeling, and application issues, this work is the first port-of-call for academic researchers and advanced students as well as for operations research/management science professionals looking for timely, authoritative information in this field.
