Operations Research

Course Overview

Often known as the 'science of better'; Operations Research (OR) is the cornerstone of effective decision making. OR has enhanced organizations and experiences all around us. From more cost effective scheduling of airline crews to the design of less intrusive cancer radiation therapy treatments, from two-person start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, from global resource planning decisions to optimizing local postal delivery routes, all benefit directly from OR.

This course introduces students to the fundamental problems in OR and the essential mathematical modeling theory and techniques including linear programming, sensitivity analysis, duality theory, transportation, assignment, transshipment, network models, integer programming, nonlinear programming, etc., that are needed to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems. Use will be made of relevant software packages such as Lingo.
