As an underground resistance fighter, political prisoner, fugitive, and Communist Party official, Egon Balas charts his journey from idealistic young Communist to disenchanted dissident.Attracted by its anti-Nazi stance, Balas joined the Hungarian Communist Party in 1942, after Hungary had entered the war on Hitler's side. He helped organize work stoppages and distributed antiwar leaflets. In his memoir, he offers a compelling account first of his eventual imprisonment and ordeal under torture and then of his escape and life in hiding.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51416491589905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416492736785,"sku":"CIN0815609302VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0815609302.jpg?v=1761389041"},{"product_id":"integer-programming-and-combinatorial-optimization-book-egon-balas-9783540594086","title":"Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization","description":"This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO '95, held in Copenhagen in May 1995 under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Programming Society. Integer programming and combinatorial optimization provide a fruitful theoretical and algorithmic basis for the solution of a number of optimization problems occuring in real-world situations, such as production planning and scheduling, routing, crew scheduling, or network construction. This volume presents 36 revised papers selected from a total of 105 submissions and offers a representative up-to-date snapshot on the state of the art in this interdisciplinary area of research and applications.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148133822737,"sku":"NLS9783540594086","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783540594086.jpg?v=1757602687"},{"product_id":"disjunctive-programming-book-egon-balas-9783030001476","title":"Disjunctive Programming","description":"Disjunctive Programming is a technique and a discipline initiated by the author in the early 1970's, which has become a central tool for solving nonconvex optimization problems like pure or mixed integer programs, through convexification (cutting plane) procedures combined with enumeration. It has played a major role in the revolution in the state of the art of Integer Programming that took place roughly during the period 1990-2010.    The main benefit that the reader may acquire from reading this book is a deeper understanding of the theoretical underpinnings and of the applications potential of disjunctive programming, which range from more efficient problem formulation to enhanced modeling capability and improved solution methods for integer and combinatorial optimization.    Egon Balas is University Professor and Lord Professor of Operations Research at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656223027473,"sku":"NLS9783030001476","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030001476.jpg?v=1762223622"},{"product_id":"der-wille-zur-freiheit-book-egon-balas-9783642540158","title":"Der Wille zur Freiheit","description":"Der ber hmter Mathematiker Egon Balas nimmt seine Leser mit auf eine erstaunliche Lebensreise: Sie erfahren von gro em Mut, grenzenlosem Optimismus und von dem Leid, das Balas auf seinem Weg von Transsilvanien nach Pennsylvania begleitete. Egon Balas wurde 1922 als Sohn ungarisch-j discher Eltern geboren, ein Gro teil seiner Familie wurde zwischen 1942-1944 ermordet. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg geriet er in Opposition zum stalinistischen Regime in Rum nien und emigrierte 1966 in die USA.
