Review
"Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Professor Powell’s book is the fact that it spans both theory and practice...Problems, deemed intractable a few years ago, are now easily solved by using the exhibited techniques in this book. I would strongly recommend the book to any practitioner facing complex, dynamic models involving constantly changing information streams." (
IIE Transactions–Operations Engineering, 2008)
"Focus[es] on the core … of dynamic programming with a simple and clear exposition of the material … while … elevating the standard of the theory."∗(Computing Reviews, May 5, 2008)
"Motivated by examples from modern–day operations research, Approximate Dynamic Programming is an accessible introduction to dynamic modeling and is also a valuable guide for the development of high–quality solutions to problems that exist in operations research and engineering. (Mathematical Reviews, 2008)
