About this Item

[Interesting provenance, previously owned by Saul I. Gass.] Volume 2. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Tears to jacket, taped. Foxing to jacket. Stamp of Gass on bottom edge and front end page. Saul I. Gass was an operations research scientist who helped pioneer in applications of linear programming and their compute-based solution, who wrote the first text on linear programming, and who had a major role in the development and operation of the first US manned space project's real-time computational system. From 1949 to 1955 Dr. Gass was employed as a mathematician by the US Air Force and worked for the Aberdeen Bombing Mission, Los Angeles, Calif., and the Directorate of Management Analysis, Washington, D.C. (headquarters USAF). In the latter position, he was a member of the Air Force's Project SCOOP, the group that first developed the basic concepts and early applications of linear programming. Gass helped formulate new approaches to solving military planning and programming problems and developed new computational procedures for solving such problems on the Univac I.
