Booknews

A text for a range of graduate courses, with some of the material suitable for students of computer science with a background in the theory of algorithms and some suitable for those with a background in operations research. Corrected and unabridged from the 1982 publication by Prentice-Hall, with a new preface. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
