Computing in Management Science

First, there will be a general description of the nature of a computing or data processing machine followed by illustrations of how it is that computers can speed the processing of information. Section II discusses the character of scientific method in order to form a basis for the ideas to be described under Sections III, IV, and V. Section III considers linear equations, with examples being given of their application to management problems. Section IV involves the notion of simulation, together with examples of how this idea can be used in management. Section V includes the design of experiments particularly with respect to obtaining better statistics for use in simulation.
