Product Description
Operational research has evolved in order to solve complex real-life problems in several variables, which may be of a military, business, or scientific nature. Maintaining a mathematician's viewpoint throughout, the author concentrates on certain mathematical aspects of operational research which lead to a variety of workable models. The text is intended primarily as a single mini-course in operational research, introducing several topics in the subject usually found in separate volumes. Provides numerous references and exercises. ... Read more

Product Description

A book on atmospheric convection treated in detail from different angles including the theoretical aspects of atmospheric deep convection and the weather phenomena related to convection. The problem of boundary conditions that result in severe convective weather patterns is explored within the framework of worldwide climatology and weather forecasting, including forecast verification, by means of their dynamic and thermodynamic properties. The book aims to bridge the gap between theory and its operational application both within the fields of weather forecasting and that of risk management. It addresses itself to meteorologists, physicists and weather forecasters, but will also be invaluable to PhD students attending courses on environment fluid dynamics and meteorology. Each chapter is practically self-contained and there are no propaedeutic sections that the reader needs to peruse before moving on to the more advanced ones.

Operations Research good introduction
This will be a very good book on introduction to the scope of operations research in business. It takes through a a very easily understandable way the basics of the subject, and is in a position to offer the reader a good grasp to understand more difficult areas later on. The explanation of the key concepts is splendid. ... Read more
