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: -
Learning outcomes
- Provide rational bases for decision making.
- Utilize this understanding to predict system behavior and improve system performance.
- Solving complex problems and improving quantitative decisions.
