Introduction to Operations Research

Section: 001

Course Description

The course aims to introduce the various types of operations research models and techniques. We will address how to formulate a wide range of decision problems using an appropriate mathematical programming model and solve them using an appropriate algorithm or solver. The emphasis will be given to Linear Programming, Network Models, and Integer Programming. Some example applications of mathematical programming to be covered in this class include production planning, network analysis, project scheduling, logistics network design, fixed charge problems, set covering problem, etc.
