We are very excited to publish the fifteenth edition of a text that has been a leader in the field for over 25 years. The purpose of this fifteenth edition, as with previous editions, is to provide undergraduate and graduate students with a sound conceptual understanding of the role that management science plays in the decision-making process. The text describes many of the applications where management science is used successfully. Former users of this text have told us that the applications we describe have led them to find new ways to use management science in their organizations.
