The HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE will provide—for the first time—a historical context for the entire field of Operations Research/Management Science. This enables each researcher, student, and practitioner to put their own work (which is only part of the broader OR/MS domain in the Applied Sciences) into a historical perspective.

OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCE: A History of the New Approach to Problems (Volume 1) provides a broad understanding including the OR/MS approach to problems, the scope of problem-solving methodologies across the specific methodologies in the field and the modeling advances with the appropriate mathematical tools illustrated.

QUALITATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF OR/MS (Volume 2) outlines the development of the qualitative (non-mathematical) approach to OR/MS in the historical context of the field.

QUANTITATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF OR/MS (Volume 3) charts the development of the quantitative advances (progress) in OR/MS. The volume uses the classical work of the pioneers to better understand the current state-of-the-art in the quantitative school.
