Professor emeritus of operations research at Stanford University. Dr. Hillier is especially known for his classic, award-winning text, Introduction to Operations Research, co-authored with the late Gerald J. Lieberman, which has been translated into well over a dozen languages and is currently in its 8th edition. The 6th edition won honorable mention for the 1995 Lanchester Prize (best English-language publication of any kind in the field) and Dr. Hillier also was awarded the 2004 INFORMS Expository Writing Award for the 8th edition. His other books include The Evaluation of Risky Interrelated Investments, Queueing Tables and Graphs, Introduction to Stochastic Models in Operations Research, and Introduction to Mathematical Programming. He received his BS in industrial engineering and doctorate specializing in operations research and management science from Stanford University. The winner of many awards in high school and college for writing, mathematics, debate, and music, he ranked first in his undergraduate engineering class and was awarded three national fellowships ( National Science Foundation, Tau Beta Pi, and Danforth) for graduate study. Dr. Hillier's research has extended into a variety of areas, including integer programming, queueing theory and its application, statistical quality control, and production and operations management. He also has won a major prize for research in capital budgeting. 1995 No primary address show more.
This fits the bill: J. Matousek even has an EMS prize (among others). Like T. Gowers. Otherwise i also like the Boyd and Vandenberghe book suggested in another answer, but in my opinion that is not as lucid (has a much wider scope though ofc.). Another remark about ' Understanding and Using Linear Programming' is that it is very easy - it is aimed at beginners. It's not like number theory where almost any textbook claims to be an 'introduction' - this book means it. Another obscure book with awful formatting that i like nonetheless is this.
