✦ Synopsis

This is the first of a series of review volumes covering mathematical techniques and methods in operations research. The series is intended to be of a reference nature on major techniques, with articles contributed by experts. Volume 1 is on technical progress in eight fields: inventory theory, linear programming, dynamic programming, queuing theory, sequencing theory, replacement theory, simulation, and gaming. The current state of the art is surveyed in each field. In addition, the first two chapters are an introductory one on operations research methods in general and one on decision and value theory.
