Abstract
Math applications are practically in all the fields of sciences unlimitedly. From the use of cryptography, the science of securing and transmitting data with the use of matrix algorithms till the use of variational calculus for the intersection of ballistic missiles, mathematics is present in every aspect of military sciences. The quantitative and qualitative study and analysis of military confrontations trough history have led to the construction and formulation of the mathematical models of combat. Those models describe the evolution, dynamics and outcome of a military combat with respect to time with the use and application of robust mathematical criteria. This enables the derivation of the most optimal strategy that leads to the correct decision making to defeat the enemy and to avoid granting him any advantageous conditions.
