Synopsis

ANL355 Applied Operations Research introduces students to the optimization process and covers techniques such as the Simplex Method, Network Simplex, integer programming, non-linear programming and dynamic programming. Case studies will be used extensively to help illustrate the various techniques covered. Hands-on using computer software (e.g., Excel, AMPL) will also be taught in this course.
