Reviews

From the reviews: "Profiles in Operations Research: Pioneers and Innovators, a volume that should be sitting on every operations researcher's bookshelf, well dog-eared from having been read and reread, is such a book. ... beyond reading Profiles in Operations Research for personal pleasure, this book should be standard reading and discussion material in the first doctoral seminar for our graduate students. ... So, obtain your copy of this book. It will be well worth your investment." (Paul Gray, Interfaces, Vol. 42 (1), January-February, 2012)
