Preface to the Present Edition
In this edition, the book has been revised thoroughly according to the latest
syllabus proposed by UGC for all Indian Universities. The book covers the syllabi of
all Engineering and Professional institutes. We hope that this revised edition will be of
great help for whom the book is written. For further improvement, the author will
welcome all sorts of criticisms and comments from all readers.
—R. K. Gupta
Preface to the First Edition
The book entitled 'Operations Research', has been written to meet the
requirements of Honours and Post-Graduate students of mathematics, statistics,
commerce, management and engineering of all Universities on this subject. The book
covers almost the entire syllabi of various Universities.
Each topic in the book has been treated in an easy and lucid style without
sacrificing any rigor. The language is simple and easily understandable. The book
contains large number of important and interesting worked out examples. A set of
exercises is given at the end of each chapter so that the students may have enough
practice in the subject. Up-to-data references from question papers of various
Universities are also given in the book.
No claim to originality can be made but the treatment of the subject is in our own
style. Though I have taken great care in eliminating the misprints, but if there are still
any, I shall feel highly obliged to those who will take trouble of pointing them out.
Suggestions for the improvement of the book will be gratefully acknowledged.
The author is grateful to his publishers and printers for their full co-operation in
bringing out the book in the present nice form.
