( Operations research originated during World War II with...)
Operations research originated during World War II with the military's need for a scientific method of providing executive departments with a quantitative decision-making basis. This volume — co-written by the father of operations research and one of his closest associates — originally appeared in classified form but was later made available to scientists, engineers, and other nonmilitary professionals. The authors discuss probability and the use of measures of effectiveness. They explore strategical kinematics, tactical analysis, gunnery and bombardment problems, operational experiments with equipment and tactics, and organizational and procedural problems. This new edition features an introduction by Saul I. Gass. 51 figures. 31 tables.

This two volume work is a superb overview of the classical applied mathematics used in solving problems in physics. The viewpoint of the physicist rather than that of the mathematician is taken.

THE classic text for applied mathematics. This is truly a work of art - with its clear explanations and its fantastic stereoscopic illustrations. Yes, it may be a little dated; and yes, it is definitely not an easy read; but its clarity of content and its sheer mathematical elegance make it more than worthwhile for any serious student of physics or engineering. And one thing is certain: anybody able to successfully complete and really understand the material presented in this book will have become VERY well versed in applied mathematics. - From a review on Goodreads
