Peer reviewedStimson, David H.; Thompson, Ronald P. – Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1974
A linear programing approach to the school busing problem is analyzed in some detail. Six different linear programing models allow examination of the effects of changes in the parameters of the models on assignment of students. Various ways in which school officials may use the solutions to the models and the postoptimality analysis of the models…

Hanson, Marjorie K. – 1984
This essay provides commentary on the place of mathematics in the study and practice of educational administration. The incidence of mathematical topics in the writing of the field is explored, and their isolation from each other and from the body of literature is pointed out. Possible areas of synthesis are sought from the traditional use of…

Mathews, Walter M. – 1973
A survey of the use of eight decision-science techniques was conducted in a stratified random cample of school districts in the United States. The purpose of the study was to determine the relative use frequency of these techniques in 14 application areas and the potential uses of the techniques in the school districts. The amount of formal…
