Operations Research and Systems Engineering: Growth and Transformation Commentaries on the Profession
Учкай маалымат
Operations Research and Systems Engineering: Growth and Transformation traces the history of both fields of research as well as offers comments on the importance of both areas of study. By taking a look back with a historical perspective and also looking forward with the presentation of applications currently being used, someone looking to make a sound career choice will be able to decide which area they want to move towards. The book also offers how to integrate both operations research methods with systems engineering concepts and tools and provides a comparison between the two, along with how they can work together in the future.
The goal of this book is to provide the reader with enough information so they can move forward with their career goals. It is also an ideal book that provides engineers, scientists, and mathematicians with a way to broaden their knowledge and areas of study.
