FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The late George B. Dantzig , widely known as the father of linear programming, was a major influence in mathematics, operations research, and economics. As Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, he continued his decades of research on linear programming and related subjects. Dantzig was awarded eight honorary doctorates, the National Medal of Science, and the John von Neumann Theory Prize from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences.The 24 chapters of this volume highlight the amazing breadth and enduring influence of Dantzigs research. Short, non-technical summaries at the opening of each major section introduce a specific research area and discuss the current significance of Dantzigs work in that field. Among the topics covered are mathematical statistics, the Simplex Method of linear programming, economic modeling, network optimization, and nonlinear programming. The book also includes a complete bibliography of Dantzigs writings. Back Cover "George B. Dantzig was one of the most important creative minds of the last half-century. Having a selection of his work is a scholarly must, and anyone interested in the application of quantitative methods to the achievement of efficiency must be grateful." -Kenneth J. Arrow,Nobel Laureate, Stanford University "This collection of papers not only represents a sample of the extraordinary contributions of George Dantzig but also chronicles the fundamental concepts of mathematical programming and operations research. Virtually all of todays work in optimization finds its origin in one or more of these papers. Beyond their historical importance for developing new tools and insights, these articles also demonstrate the elegance and clarity of Dantzigs style of exposition. Students and researchers in all mathematical science fields can learn from his example." -John R. Birge, Dean, Robert R.
