    Not so easy at first but surprising results
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013*

When I bought this book I was a little perplexed because some people had told me I could not use SOLVER to help me reach my objective. As an organizer of golf games, I have to schedule my players so that each one has an equal opportunity to be matched with any other player. For example, I will not match 2 players who have been playing together many times in the past. Since on average, I have 20 players to match in foursomes, it means 4,845 different combinations. It is clearly impossible to manually find the optimal combinations in a short period of time.Being an EXCEL adept, I then considered to try the add-in SOLVER. To get started, I bought and thorougly read the book written by Mr. Harmon. Having no clue about SOLVER, the first few chapters were rather arrid to read but after downloading the examples and with the explanations in the book, everything became much clearer. Not being a skilled mathematician, it took some efforts to get the knack of it but it was really worthwhile. The book clearly describe the main elements to consider like : clear definition of the problem to be solved and constraints, how to define the calculations to be made and so on. The only thing missing is a list of clear definition of the terms used in the book. This would have made the reading of the first few chapters much easier.I then applied my new understanding of SOLVER to the problem I described above and finally got the optimal solution no matter how many players I had to combine in about 60 seconds. This book has been really helpful and without it I would still have to keep trying to manually achieve my objectives.I would recommend this book to anyone interested by SOLVER but be ready to challenge your mathematical skills although you don't have to be a genius to take advantage of it.Michael

    Does not make Solver intuitive
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014*

This book is not a general book about how to use solver but rather a cookbook which treats specific common problems such as scheduling a small number of workers.It does not bore down to the fundamentals and show one how to set up problems other than those for which it has "recipes".  For example, I want to use it to schedule a series of plays at a week-long theater festival, but can not figure out, in effect, how to arrange the input data, though I can write all the constraint equations and the objective function for an integer program and have used other special-purpose LP programs such as LINDO (too expensive now) in the past.  If you are quite familiar with linear algebra the book will probably be easier to use.  My secretary, a university math major without specific LP experience was able to solve problems with it.

    Simple and for Beginners
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017*

Very simple, straight forward though. It is a book for beginners. If you do not know anything about solver than I recommend to buy it. However if you have some knowledge in this tool, there are better books which could help you to go deep in your learnings.
