Abstract: This paper is an invited contribution to the 50th anniversary issue of the journal Operations Research , published by the Institute of Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS). It describes one person's perspective on the development of computational tools for linear programming. The paper begins with a short personal history, followed by historical remarks covering the some 40 years of linear-programming developments that predate my own involvement in this subject. It concludes with a more detailed look at the evolution of computational linear programming since 1987.
