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 you're curious about the advanced optimization methods used in Frontline Systems' Solver Engines, we have some unique resources to recommend to you. We especially recommend the textbooks Management Science: The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets by Stephen G. Powell and Kenneth R. Baker, published by John Wiley & Sons, ISBN 0-470-03840-3, and Spreadsheet Modeling and Decision Analysis: A Practical Introduction to Management Science by Cliff T. Ragsdale, published by South-Western College Publishing, ISBN 0-324-31256-3.
