Abstract: Abstract Once upon a time, within the memories of men who think they are still young, there was no such thing as operations research, or at least no such phrase. To-day the Operations Research Society of America has more than 2,300 members, the Institute of Management Science has more than 2,600 members (there is considerable overlap, of course) and at a recent international conference on operations research no less than sixteen countries from four continents were represented. It is a flourishing movement.
