Operations research has evolved as a research methodology over the last several decades, and draws on a variety of scientific disciplines, with a heavy reliance on mathematics. It involves data collection, the creation of mathematical models, and feedback loops for continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her latest blog post<\/a>, Professor Laura Albert<\/a> shares key points of a 1952 lecture in which Philip McCord Morse of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology attempts to identify a general overview of operations research. Over 60 years later, she finds that much of what Morse shared still rings true today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Operations research has evolved as a research methodology over the last several decades, and draws on a variety of scientific disciplines, with a heavy reliance on mathematics.
