Class Optimization Software

for use with Optimization in Operations Research
by Ronald L. Rardin, Prentice Hall, 1998

Courses using this book can be effectively conducted using any standard class optimization software such as GAMS, AMPL, or LINGO.

Most of the examples with numbers in the book have been coded by the author with GAMS modeling software which can be obtained free in the student version. Professor Rardin's GAMS Notes for using the system are available online.

The following are the GAMS input files for these book examples. Note that in some cases, alternative optimal solutions result that are different from the ones printed in the book.
