| Summary, etc |
"The purpose of this thirteenth edition, as with previous editions, is to provide andereriduate and graduate students with a conceptual understanding of the role that quantitative methods play in the decision-making process. The text describes the many quantitative methods developed over the years, explains how they work, and shows how the decision maker can apply and interpret them.<br/><br/>This book is applications-oriented and uses our problem scenario approach to gently introduce quantitative material. In each chapter, a problem is described in conjunction with the quantitative procedure being introduced. Development of the quantitative technique or model includes applying it to the problem to generate a solution or recommendation. This approach can help to motivate the student by demonstrating not only how the procedure works, but also how it contributes to the decision-making process.<br/><br/>The mathematical prerequisite for this text is an algebra course. The two chapters on probability and probability distributions will provide the necessary background for the use of probability in subsequent chapters. Throughout the text we use generally accepted nota-tion for the topic being covered. As a result, students who pursue study beyond the level of this text will generally experience little difficulty reading more advanced material. To also assist in further study, a bibliography is included at the end of this book." --Preface |
