Applied Operations Research

Applied Operations Research (ANL355)

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.
