Title: Economic foundations of symmetric programming
Description: "This textbook on symmetric programming is for graduate students who have already taken a graduate course in microeconomic theory"--

"This book formulates and discusses models of producers' economic behavior using the framework of mathematical programming. Furthermore, it introduces the Symmetry Principle in economics and demonstrates its analytical power in dealing with problems hitherto considered either difficult or intractable. It assumes that its readers have a beginner's knowledge of calculus and linear algebra and that, at least, they have taken an intermediate course in microeconomics.
