Review:

"The authors have been very comprehensive in their approach and I commend them for doing a good job in illustration what spreadsheets can do for the management science models." Sameer Kumar, University of St. Thomas

"The text has retained enough of the concepts from the traditional approach to aid the student in comprehension of the material, while providing them with tools (the spreadsheets) that are readily available to each of them." Charlene Robert, Louisiane State University

"The use of the spreadsheet (which nearly all business students now are forced to master for several courses) can get students who never got anywhere with quantitative analysis at all in the traditional environment up to a level not possible without the spreadsheet approach." Robert Johnson, Greenville College

"As I would expect, Professors Anderson, Sweeney, and Williams have done a fine job of producing a management science text that uses the Excel platform to obtain model solutions." Mustafa Yilmaz, Northeastern University
