The CRC Press Series in Operations Research encompasses books that contribute to the methodology of Operations Research and applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions.
The scope of the series is wide, including innovative applications of Operations Research which describe novel ways to solve real-world problems, with examples drawn from industrial, computing, engineering, and business applications. The series explores the latest developments in Theory and Methodology, and presents original research results contributing to the methodology of Operations Research, and to its theoretical foundations.
Featuring a broad range of reference works, textbooks and handbooks, the books in this Series will appeal not only to researchers, practitioners and students in the mathematical community, but also to engineers, physicists, and computer scientists. The inclusion of real examples and applications is highly encouraged in all of our books.
