Item description from seller

8vo. xiv, 404 pp. Index. Original blue cloth, printed dust-jacket. Near fine. RARE. The Father of Linear Programming and the Inventor of the "Simplex Method" "Dantzig's paper, originally written in 1947 but not published until 1951, was a fundamental application of computers to problems of management and economics. Dantzig was one of three founders (together with John von Neumann and Leonid Kantorovich) of linear programming, a mathematical method used for the optimum allocation of scarce resources among competing activities. In 1947 Dantzig discovered that many such allocation problems could be formulated as linear computer problems. He also devised an algorithm, known as the simplex method, which allowed these programs to be performed on a large scale and applied to real-world problems. An algorithm of tremendous power, the simplex method remains a major part of most operations research applications." [Hook, Norman, & Williams]. "[In] Washington, . . . he became a mathematical advisor at the Defense Department, charged with mechanizing the planning process. Based partly on his earlier work with aircraft supply flow, he worked out the simplex algorithm." [Washington Post]. Holly, Joe, "Vanguard Mathematician George Dantzig Dies," Washington Post, May 19, 2005; Hook, Norman, & Williams, Origins of Cyberspace, 2002, p. 49.
