Abstract

Most OR researchers tend to focus their research programs on one central area and contribute to its further development by deepening the theoretical understanding or extending the range of applications. Tom Saaty is different. Since encountering OR in the early 1950s, about the time he completed his formal education as a mathematician, he has involved himself in diverse subfields of OR, making significant contributions to the mathematics of OR, queueing, networks, linear programming (LP), arms control, and decision analysis (DA). Tom has also applied his talent as an expositor by writing seminal books on these topics.
