Description
Excerpt from Elementary Mathematics of Linear Programming and Game Theory
The most striking breakthrough in business and economic re search in the past two decades has been the development of new empirical techniques which are frequently classified under the some what nebulous title of operations research. Perhaps the most fruit ful of these new techniques is linear programming, an outgrowth of game theory concepts which were first conceived by the late John von Neumann in the 1920''s.
While the pragmatic value of mathematical programming is in contestable, the extent of its contribution to the content of economic theory may remain unsettled for many years. Still, it seems clear that an understanding of the rationale of linear programming and game theory is mandatory for both the practicing business economist and the economic theorist. A majority of the practicing business econo mists and many academic economists may be inadequately prepared mathematically, however, to learn what they need to know about these subjects.
