The original book is a comprehensive introduction to the topics of linear programming and combinatorial optimization. The current book, therefore, has the initial goal of providing hints, and solutions for the problems there stated. However, the authors managed to create a book that is far from being a simple solution manual. This is clearly expressed in the introduction, where they describe the development process, as well as their nal objectives. They decided to write a self contained text, with summaries of the most important points in each chapter, followed by solved exercises. Also, some of the presented exercises are new, and were not included in [1]. The result is a well-written reference text, with much more material than what can be expected of a solutions manual. Each section of the book starts with a summary of the important facts appearing the corresponding sections of [1]. All statements in the exercises are included, thus the student does not need a copy of [1] to understand the problems. These features allow the book to be used as a self contained reference. Book Content Introduction In the introduction, the topic of LP modeling is covered, with the help of several examples....
