Constraint Theory

Targeting practical engineers, this book delves into multidimensional mathematical models, emphasizing a balance between analytical and visual understanding. Unlike many graph theory texts, it incorporates topological illustrations, enhancing comprehension. It distinguishes itself from Eliyahu Goldratt's Theory of Constraints, which emerged in the 1980s, by focusing on a mathematical foundation for complexity that the author originally defined in his 1967 dissertation. The work aims to enrich the qualitative nature of Systems Engineering with a more rigorous mathematical approach.
