Description: As a civilian mathematician working for the United States Air Force, Gass was introduced to linear programming when he joined Project SCOOP, led by George Dantzig. This book evolved from the class notes for a linear programming course that Gass taught--sponsored by the Department of Agriculture. The goal of the USDA was to minimize costs for growing crops; the USAF aimed to maximize the availability of bombers. Linear programming is used to find solutions for both.
