Books by William P. Fox

Based on many years of applied research, modeling and educating future decision makers, the authors have selected the critical set of mathematical modeling skills for decision analysis to include in this book.

The study of nonlinear optimization is both fundamental and a key course for applied mathematics, operations research, management science, industrial engineering, and economics at most colleges and universities.

The text presents modeling topics using Maple as the computer algebra system for solving mathematical equations as well as obtaining plots that help us perform our analyses. It presents cogent applications of applied mathematics, provides discussions of the results obtained, and stimulate thought and analysis of additional applications.
