The primary goal of this book is to assist the student to develop
the skills necessary to effectively employ the ideas of mathematics
to solve military problems. At the simplest level I seek to promote
an understanding of why mathematics is useful as a language for
characterizing the interaction and relationships among quantifiable
concepts, or in mathematical terms, variables. The text explores
models of terrorism, attrition, search, detection, missile defense,
radar, and operational reliability Throughout the text I emphasize
the notion of added value and why it is the driving force behind
military mathematical modeling. For a given mathematical model to
be deemed a success something must be learned that was not obvious
without the modeling procedure. Very often added value comes in the
form of a prediction. In the absence of added value the modeling
procedure becomes an exercise not unrelated to digging a ditch
simply to fill it back up again.
