Bellman's early article appears in the "Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society", volume 60, number 6, November 1954 (Whole No, 633), on pp 503-516 in the issue of pp 503-608. Original wrappers--the bright green has faded along the spine to a pale green, as seems to be "normal" for this publication. This is a very early paper on Bellman's very highly influential "dynamic programming"--there are several papers that appear on the topic published by RAND, and a paper that would later appear under the auspices of the NAS--this seems to be the first true "public" paper on the subject by Bellman. Condition note: the original owner's name is rubber stamped on the front cover. Seller Inventory # ABE-1508764189144
