About This Book
In the late forties, Mathematical Programming became a scientific discipline in its own right. Since then it has experienced a tremendous growth. Beginning with economic and military applications, it is now among the most important fields of applied mathematics with extensive use in engineering, natural sciences, economics, and biological sciences. The lively activity in this area is demonstrated by the fact that as early as 1949 the first "Symposium on Mathe matical Programming" took place in C
Our Review
This comprehensive volume traces the remarkable evolution of mathematical programming from its emergence as a distinct scientific discipline in the late 1940s to its current status as a cornerstone of applied mathematics. The book captures how this field rapidly expanded beyond its initial economic and military applications to become indispensable across engineering, natural sciences, economics, and biological sciences, demonstrating the field's explosive growth and increasing relevance.
What makes this work particularly valuable is its historical perspective on mathematical optimization, documenting how early gatherings like the 1949 Symposium on Mathematical Programming established the foundation for today's vibrant research community. Readers seeking to understand the development of optimization theory and operations research will find this an essential guide to the field's formative years and its continuing impact on solving complex real-world problems through mathematical modeling.
