Introduction to Stochastic Programming (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering)

Typical Spinger book. Way too much text and too little illustration or examples. Meh....They really should bring their textbooks into the 21st century with color, illustrations, pictures, and even more digital tie-in. This is dry as cardboard, and math doesn't have to be like that.

If you’re trying to make the transition from LP to Stochastic LP, this book won’t help much.It doesn’t even try to make the material relatable or accessible to someone new to the field. It is very thin on examples. Much of the content isn’t explained at all. After a semester struggling with this book I ask what were the authors trying to accomplish?

hard to follow: poor explanations, many steps in derivations are skipped, inconsistent notation, ambiguous sentences, strange English language use, etc.

I had a positive expectative about the book before, but now I am secure that it was an excellent purchase. The book is clear and presents all contents as detailed as needed for both a new learner and an expert.

Ce livre constitue une excellente introduction à l'optimisation stochastique. Malheureusement, bien que neuf, la couverture du livre que j'ai reçu était abîmée...
