Course description

This course is an introduction to the fundamental methods used in deterministic operations research. We will cover four basic classes of techniques-linear programming, network flows, integer programming and non-linear programming. For each of these techniques we will discuss problems that can be modeled as an instance of a given techniques, as well as solution algorithms. However, the main emphasis will be on the modeling.

Grade

The final grade consists of the following components: weekly homework assignments 20%, first midterm 20%, second midterm 20%, final exam 40%. Late HW policy: -10% of the grade for each late day
