Excerpts: How does one best search for non-replenishable targets at unknown
positions? An optimized search strategy could be applied to situations as
diverse as animal foraging and time-sensitive rescue missions.  Operations
research ¡X the field that uses mathematical methods to optimize complex
real-world structures and processes ¡X grew out of the analysis of military
problems during the Second World War. One such question was the optimization
problem 'How to hunt a submarine'1, the analysis of which had to take several
factors into account.
