Mathematical Methods and Optimal Planning

Abstract

In advancing to the forefront the objective of improving the planning and management of the economy of developed socialist society, the Twenty-Fourth Congress of the CPSU emphasized the necessity of applying mathematical methods in this area. Through them it is possible to obtain the most precisely balanced variant of the plan assuring the successful management of the economy, i.e., the best, optimal variant. Accordingly, the central point in the use of economic-mathematical methods must be their application in optimal planning.
