Chapter Chapter 1 in Harvey J. Greenberg, 2021, pp 1-12 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Harvey J. Greenberg’s career in Operations Research (OR) and Computer Science (CS) spanned the half-century from his Ph.D. dissertation in 1968 to his death in 2018. The magnitude of his accomplishments in those 50 years is profound, enough so that it is difficult to communicate his legacy’s entire imprint. Harvey had outstanding academic success, but he also played critical roles in guiding public policy, in advancing OR’s industrial employ, and in building community. Most OR professionals could pridefully review their careers with noteworthy success in just one of these categories, but Harvey’s substantive influence in each has distinguished him as one of his era’s definitive bellwethers. Harvey’s era was of particular note because it witnessed OR blossom from its military and industrial origins to its expansive embrace of modern algorithms and computing.
