- pfdietz 3y agoI mean, it helped win WW2, so I think its utility is already demonstrated. :)
- 7thaccount 3y agoThanks for the comment. I was thinking more about linear programming and related techniques that mostly came about after the war with Dantzig and when computers could be utilized (I know Kantorovich independently also developed the technique before the war). I went ahead and skimmed some articles on OR in WW2. Cool stuff. Thanks for expanding my knowledge.
