Very helpful guide to go OR field-UT, Austin
This book could be the best book for someone who interested in operations research at their start line. It goes over most of the typical Operations Research topics and explain wordy but crystal clear plain explanation. As an experienced reader in OR like me, this book looks nothing but an introduction book. That's not true. If I confuse some point, I always go back to basic and refresh my mind with nice and clear explanation on each chapters. So I strongly recommend this book as a great motivational book who want to get into OR world. Math knowledge will not be helpful.
