A graduate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he helped develop digital computing. He oversaw the creation of a national air defense system and helped launch MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. Later he joined what is now the MIT Sloan School of Management and founded the field of system dynamics, which examines complex business, economic, and environmental systems. During World War Forrester designed the hydraulic stabilization system for the Navy which kept the radar pointing along the horizon.
