The purpose of this book is to provide a unified, insightful, and modern treatment of linear optimization, that is, linear programming, network flow problems, and discrete linear optimization. We discuss both classical topics, as well as the state of the art. We give special attention to theory, but also cover applications and present case studies. Our main objective is to help the reader become a sophisticated practitioner of (linear) optimization, or a researcher. More specifically, we wish to develop the ability to formulate fairly complex optimization problems, provide an appreciation of the main classes of problems that are practically solvable, describe the available solution methods, and build an understanding of the qualitative properties of the solutions they provide.
