In this paper we present a paradigmatic example of the use in knowledge management of techniques from other fields, namely mathematical analysis. We also highlight that the Jacobi method presented here takes precedence over the better known Hungarian method. Finally, we signify that the Jacobi method represents the first known or recognized case of serendipity in both knowledge management and operational research. This paper thus demonstrates the intersection between knowledge management, mathematical analysis and operational research and how taking historical perspectives are important for recognising future applications of knowledge management. This results in a better understanding of knowledge management and how it can be applied in the future. It has been shown how knowledge management relates to historical mathematical principles.

在本文中，我们提出了在知识管理中使用其他领域的技术（即数学分析）的典型示例。我们还强调，这里介绍的雅可比方法优先于更为人所知的匈牙利方法。最后，我们指出雅可比方法代表了知识管理和运筹学中第一个已知或公认的偶然性案例。因此，本文论证了知识管理、数学分析和运筹学之间的交叉点，以及历史视角对于认识知识管理未来应用的重要性。这有助于更好地理解知识管理及其在未来的应用。知识管理与历史数学原理的关系已经被证明。
