Operations research is a scientific method of gathering information to be used in high-level military decision-making, first originating in World War II. Written by a pioneer of operations research, this volume was designed for scientists, engineers, and other non-military professionals, discussing such topics as strategical kinematics, tactical analysis, gunnery and bombardment problems, etc. Contents include: "Introduction," "Probability," "The Use of Measures of Effectiveness," "Strategical Kinematics," "Tactical Analysis," "Gunnery and Bombardment Problems," "Operational Experiments with Equipment and Tactics," "Organizational and Procedural Problems," "Tables," etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork. This book was first published in 1951. | Methods of Operations Research by Philip M Morse, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
