Where can I find resources to learn mathematical modelling for real life operation research problems like combinatorial optimization?

Question

I find it hard to form math models for real life operations research problems, how can I learn this? Any books, tutorials available?

I recommend checking the other posts that have the books tag. — RobPratt, Apr 11 '20 at 18:40
The NPTEL lecture series on operations research: https://nptel.ac.in/courses/112106134/ has a number of examples. The solver ILOG CPLEX is shipped with a number of coding examples. You can find the corresponding mathematical model online. — batwing, Apr 11 '20 at 20:19
Resources introduced in this relevant question are all recommended. — rasul, Aug 09 '21 at 13:01

you may get many different answers but the one I have used for 20+ years is

Model Building in Mathematical Programming by H.P.Williams

Many models are in the OPL CPLEX examples and some other here

All 29 of these examples from the Williams book are in SAS here. – RobPratt Apr 11 '20 at 21:02
