This comprehensive text explores the mathematical models underlying the theory of scheduling. Organized according to scheduling problem type, it examines 3 solution techniques: algebraic, probabilistic, and Monte Carlo simulation by computer. Topics include problems of sequence, measures for schedule evaluation, finite sequencing for a single machine, much more. 1967 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, Massachusetts, 1967.
