Includes bibliography.

This book is categorized into three models: 1) Linear programming which in its abstract formulation is a certain kind of mathematical maximum or minimum problem; and it derives from the fact that many actual economic situations lead to precisely this problem after the appropriate simplifying assumptions have been made; 2) Two-person game model comes from the fact that it is designed to reflect the essential features of certain games of strategy, and thus indirectly certain aspects of economic competition; 3) Other models concern patterns of exchange between countries or industry, alternative schemes of production, and certain economic equilibrium situations.
