Descriptive notes to accompany a set of 21 PowerPoint slide shows titled “Managing the Unmanageable.” See also, “Managing the Unmanageable: Abstracts of PowerPoint Presentations, 2000.” Videos of the lectures are available under “Managing the Unmanageable.”

Part of the course of study in this semester includes critique and study of Peter Senge's book The Fifth Discipline. Leading into discussion of complexity in government.

This is a short paper, giving introductory comments made when Warfield served as chairman of a symposium of three speakers, Alexander N. Christakis, Huey Johnson, and Carl Moore, at a meeting of the Society for General Systems Research in 1982.

A paper based on the work Warfield did for his doctoral thesis under Prof John G. Truxal, at Purdue University in 1952.

A translation from the German of "Theorie der Linearen Wechselstromschaltungen" by Wilhelm Cauer, the book was important when published, but much more has been done in non-linear studies since.

Warfield’s doctoral thesis for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Purdue University.

Unfinished document in which Warfield contends that there are important reasons to distrust what higher education has to offer with regard to (large changing) systems. He criticizes the rise of “pseudo-scientific” publications and individuals among higher education institutions. Particularly deplores the tendency to ignore great scholars including De Morgan, Boole, Cayley and Harary.

One of the first articles Warfield published. Provides an overview of the systems engineering, a new field at the time. Warfield considered this report an important step in his understanding of complexity and Systems Science. Written for Contract NORD7958, Bureau of Ordinance, U.S. Navy Department.

A one-page abstract and outline, along with the transparencies used, for a talk at the Howard University joint NASA-Electrical Engineering Seminar, 28 February 1989. Folder also contains correspondence regarding the talk.
