PreTeXt book for operations research?

[Steven Clontz]

Is anyone aware of a PreTeXt book for teaching operations research?

[David Austin]

I'm not aware of such a book, but I'd be interested to see one.

It's not in PreTeXt but I found something possible here: https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Applied_Mathematics/Applied_Finite_Mathematics_(Sekhon_and_Bloom)/03%3A_Linear_Programming_-_A_Geometric_Approach

And this was interesting as well: https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction

I did try to convince a colleague to make his new undergrad-focused OR book an OER, but alas he went with the editorial and marketing capabilities of a known publisher.

Side note: Which publisher, in this case, was able to pay significant amounts for students to check and write solutions to exercises, help with code, and other things like that. I wish there was more regular (as opposed to grant-based) infrastructure for that kind of thing in the OER space, which many faculty simply don't have time or interest to pull off, but which is crucial for adoption of many types of texts.  It would obviously make it much more appealing to those without a clear philosophical commitment to OER to develop new texts aimed at different audiences.

This is something the PROSE project is looking into...
