From the reviews of the first edition: "This book is a very comprehensive textbook of linear and integer optimization. It presents a unified approach to the subject and is one of the few books treating linear and integer aspects together. ... This is an interesting book with special features. ... The text is written in a clear and readily comprehensible way, and it contains computer programs as well as many examples being helpful for students. This book is an important textbook of mathematical programming." (Johannes Jahn, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1053 (4), 2005)
