Abstract: Usually when one thinks of applied mathematics, one thinks of applications in the physical sciences---physics or chemistry---or in the various branches of engineering. But there are other fields of applications, more closely related to the life sciences, where mathematics is also being applied. One small part of this new field of application is in what is coming to be called operations research. Paper presented to the meeting of the International Institute of Statistics, at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August, 1955.
