Introduction

 This course will introduce the basic principles in optimal resource allocation. Operations Research (OR)  represents the study of optimal                                                  resource allocation. The goal of OR is to provide rational bases for decision making by seeking to understand and structure complex                                                        situations, and to utilize this understanding to predict system behavior and improve system performance.

Pre requisites: -
