Abstract: Abstract Shortly after WorldWar II, many college mathematics students pursuing their educational programs had no way of knowing that a new, mathematically based applied field, Operations Research (OR), had originated from the exigencies of military planning and operations. OR did not enter college curricula until the mid-1950s, and then, only rarely in mathematics departments. Occasionally, through mainly fortuitous circumstances, mathematical problems that were to have a significant impact on OR were brought to the attention of a select group of such students. Remarkable mathematical, computational, and applied advances resulted from this early exposure. One of the most influential of this new generation of mathematical researchers was Harold W. Kuhn.
