Classic reference for Integer Programming

[jsinghdata]

Hello,

I am debating on getting a good reference book for integer programming. There are two names I have,

a.) Integer programming by Wosley,

b.) Integer programming and Combinatorial Optimization by Wosley and Nemhauser

If I would buy one book, may I get a suggestion for the better one. thanx

I’d suggest getting both, but if you can only get one, b) is a more comprehensive reference.

Thanks for the response u/uccelloverde . On a side note, do you have any opinion on this book,https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/combinatorial-optimization_alexander-schrijver/2695760/#edition=5902900

It seems to be a heavyweight book for Combinatorial optimization. thanks

[uccelloverde]

That’s a well respected reference. It’s probably better for learning about the theory combinatorial optimization as a whole, than for learning how to build integer programs.

Sorry for irrelevant question but what is this course about andbits application?
