If you'd like to learn more about designing and solving
optimization models for practical business problems, one of your
best resources is a textbook aimed at current MBA students.
Frontline Systems has worked with the authors of more than a dozen
management science textbooks -- on these pages, we'll tell you about
some of our favorite choices.
If you'd like to learn more about programming
the Excel Solver or using other analytical methods in VBA, or if

to recommend to you.
We especially recommend the
