Great and highly effective decision method!

I have found the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to be one of the best, intriguing, and certainly fairly easy to communicate method to aid me on multi-criteria multi-objectives decision problems.The book contains a wealth of examples from some decades (!) of practical experiences with AHP.The book presents some "rules of thumb" (read: approximate methods) to estimate the final "priority vectors" ranking and sorting out the different alternatives to be decided, but will give the mathematically inclined reader a thorough (read: tough, at least college level in linear algebra!) introduction into the inner workings of Eigenvalue computation for priority matrices.And I definitely appreciate the *original* comments of the founder of AHP to any other's comments on the subject.
