Résumé

For junior/senior-level courses in Systems Analysis or Systems Analysis and Economics as applied to civil engineering.

With a major reorganization and a plethora of new material, the Second Edition of this acclaimed text is designed to enhance the students learning experience by providing exposure to modeling ideas and concepts prior to beginning the teaching of the mathematical process of model building. Network flow problems are emphasized by highlighting their study separately from the general integer programming models that are considered. With an even wider range of examples and exercises that conclude many chapters, this text offers students an extremely practical, accessible study on the most modern skills available for the design, operation and evaluation of civil and environmental engineering systems.

Features

Extensively reorganized and updated material-Provides a smoother and more student-friendly structure.
New end-of-chapter problems.
First chapter devoted to a combination of historical development of systems analysis and the steps that a model builder must follow in structuring an optimization model.
Verbal descriptions of settings furnished where models can be employed in Chapter 1.
Topics of integer programming, branch and bound, and applications of integer programming in their own chapter-Encompassed without the network flow models.
Network flows presented in its own chapter-Contains all of the major network flow concepts for ease of access.
An abundance of substantive examples and problems.
