Reader ReviewsI've used this book for a graduate course in Dynamic Programming. Having used many of Mr. Ross's books (undergraduate and graduate), I found this one lacks the detail and lucidity (particularly the end of chapter problems...I believe in "learning by doing"... i.e. solve lots of problems!) that I have come to know of his books (e.g. A First Course in Probability and Introduction to Probability Models). The bright spot of the book is its examples, which are interesting and fairly detailed.
