MATH 22700 - Operations Research

Course Credit: 1
(MACS)
This course begins with an introduction to the general methodology of operations research supported by examples and a brief history. A fairly extensive coverage of the theory and applications of linear programming leads to both discrete and continuous models used in economics and the management sciences. Among those models are nonlinear programming, continuous and discrete probability models, dynamic programming, and transportation and network flow models. Prerequisite(s): MATH 21100; MATH 21200 (May be taken concurrently with MATH-22700); or permission of instructor [MNS, Q]
