    We welcome contributions related to all aspects of OR history. 

     

    In the past, this stream hosted talks such as:

    • "Computational Science in the 18th Century Test Cases for the methods of Newton, Raphson and Halley: 1685 to 1745" (T. Steihaug). 
    • "The origin of the Branch-and-Bound Method" (J. Leung)
    • "The life and work of Harry M Markowitz" (J. Fogg)

     

    We also regularly host talks related to history of national and international OR Societies, e.g. "75 years of the world's first OR journal" (G. Rand).
