This division can be seen by reading the contents page of just about any OR\/MS textbook. The mathematical models that help to define OR\/MS are usually presented in terms of one subfield or the other. This separation comes about somewhat artificially: academic courses are conveniently subdivided with respect to prerequisites; an initial overview of OR\/MS can be presented without requiring knowledge of probability and statistics; text books are conveniently divided into two related semester courses, with deterministic models coming first; academics tend to specialize in one subfield or the other; and practitioners also tend to be expert in a single subfield. But, no matter who is involved in an OR\/MS modeling situation (deterministic or probabilistic - academic or practitioner), it is clear that a proper and correct treatment of any problem situation is accomplished only when the analysis cuts across this dichotomy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792399179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-6103-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 581\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378467725452,"sku":"9780792399179","price":251.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792399179.jpg?v=1775004488","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792399179","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
