Book that discusses the general principles of model building in mathematical programming and demonstrates how they can be applied by using several simplified but practical problems from widely different contexts.
Short Summary
Many practically examples, that arise in real-world OR applications.
When & Why?
It is a great beginner book. Use it to learn basic formulations for common problem classes. Use it to learn build first models and really code them.
How to?
Use a few example as starting points and try to recode them in Python for example and run it to experiment with it.
Review: what is good & less good?
Great starting point after you have some understanding of the technology
