If the course professor can have
a flourishing, productive group in
optimization in Australia, then good
for him, his group, and the good judgment
of his customers. In the US, optimization was a field
with lots of effort back at least to
Dantzig at Rand in the late 1940s.
The main push for the field was just the
US DoD. For US business, there have been
some niche applications, but
the overall situation has long
been just as I described --
the field "gets no respect".
With rare exceptions, people
just don't want it. Elsewhere
in this thread I've given
nearly exhaustive reports of
why basically in US business
optimization is a dead duck. |
