Introduction to  Course:

Operations research has had an increasingly great impact on the management of organizations, including business, government, and military. Operations research involves formulation of real life situations into mathematical models, and then developing optimal solutions by application of various algorithms. The purpose of this course is to provide an appreciation of various techniques used in operations research, and their application in developing optimal solutions for real life problems.

Learning Outcomes:

On the successful completion of the course students will be able to: 

• Analytical method of problem solving
• knowledge about decision making 
• Optimization 
• Mathematical formulation (modeling)
