			Microsoft PowerPoint and PDF Presentation Slides

			------------------------------------------------



Included in this folder is a set of Microsoft (MS) PowerPoint 

presentations that cover the entire volume, including chapters and 

appendices. These presentations are intended for both the instructors 

and the students. 



While the presentations are based on the Figures and Tables in the 

text, they are supplemented by my teaching experience using the book 

as a text for the following courses:

-- Decision and Risk Analysis

-- Multicriteria Decision Making

-- Optimization

-- Networks and Combinatorial Optimization

-- Spatial Time Series



As suggested, these presentations could also be useful for

-- Engineering System Design

-- Facilities Location, Layout and Material Handling

-- Methods of Policy Analysis



For this reason, the reader will find additional slide presentations 

going beyond the Figures and Tables in the text. Some of the 

presentations are animated, as enabled by the current features of MS 

PowerPoint. To cut across the media, the presentations are also 

prepared in PDF files in case the readers choose to go beyond MS 

products.
