Mathematical elegance is a constant theme in this treatment of
linear programming and matrix games. Condensed tableau, minimal in
size and notation, are employed for the simplex algorithm. In the
context of these tableau the beautiful termination theorem of R.G.
Bland is proven more simply than heretofore, and the important
duality theorem becomes almost obvious. Examples and extensive
discussions throughout the book provide insight into definitions,
theorems, and applications. There is considerable informal
discussion on how best to play matrix games. The book is designed
for a one-semester undergraduate course. Readers will need a degree
of mathematical sophistication and general tools such as sets,
functions, and summation notation. No single college course is a
prerequisite, but most students will do better with some prior
college mathematics. This thorough introduction to linear
programming and game theory will impart a deep understanding of the
material and also increase the student's mathematical maturity.
