5 out of 5 stars Makes complicated problem seem simple   December 21, 2007
John P. Marcantonio (Seattle, WA USA)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

In general, I do not enjoy reading textbooks, yet the Hilliers' text is exciting and could change your approach to solving problems. After reading this text, I have the confidence to dive into challenging problems. The case studies are complicated yet simple to follow. The text includes Professor Hillier's class notes, so a dedicated learner could teach him/herself. If you do any spreadsheet modeling, this is a textbook that you will want to keep within arm's reach.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent book for Quantitative Analysis   May 27, 2010

This book was used for an MBA course in quantitative analysis. The book touches on some theory but is used for applying QA using Excel. The Excel templates make short work of the complex calculations in QA so it allows the reader to do proper analysis of the data. If you want to learn about how to do decision analysis and time-series forecasting, then this is a great book to use. The CD comes with all the supplemental Excel spreadsheets and other coursework that is not covered in the book.
