B r y n Y a w CollegeAssuming that numerical s c o r e s a r e available f o r the performance of each of n persons on each of n jobs, the "assignment problem" is the quest for an assignment of persons to jobs so that the s u m of the n s c o r e s so obtained is as large as possible. It is shown that ideas latent in the work of two Hungarian mathematicians may be exploited to yield a new method of solving this problem.
