From the reviews: "Lasserre has produced a fascinating slim ... monograph (much of the work his own) looking at the parallels between linear (respectively integer) programming on the one hand and integration (respectively integer counting) problems on the other hand. ... An appendix on various transforms a hundred references and a brief index complete the work which is a welcome addition to an important set of topics." (J. Borwein, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 f) "This book is devoted to analysing four important problems: integer programming problem, linear programming problem, linear integration problem, and linear counting problem. ... a very specialized book on the integer programming problem and its dual variants. ... can be very helpful for researchers working in developing algorithms for the integer programming problem which is a formidable challenging problem. This is a clear and well-written book ... ." (E. Almehdawe, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 61 (12), 2010)
