Jay Forrester's contrubutions
I am relatively new to editting Wikipedia pages, but as a member of the System Dynamics Society I thought it prudent to provide a better description of Jay Forrester's contrubutions to the field. Please feel free to make additional changes or leave comments here if you are not comfortable doing them youself and I will consider them in future updates.
Thanks,

Touché
"His early interest in electricity was possibly sparked by the fact that the ranch had none." Nicely worded. Xardox (talk) 08:52, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for this remark. That particular line is (almost) a direct quote from the source, so the required quotation marks are now added. -- Mdd (talk) 15:55, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
I ejoyed reading "The Beginning of System Dynamics",Banquet Talk at the international meeting of the System Dynamics Society Stuttgart, Germany, July 13, l989.
However, on pg 15, there seems to be a typo...
"There is now a promise of reversing the trend of the last century that has been moving away form the “Renaissance man” toward fragmented specialization."
It reads, "...moving away form the...", where it could be "...moving away from the..." I thought it was worth mentioning. Respectfully submitted, Ron
