Operations Research 3 KMA355
Introduction
This unit develops skills in the optimization of real-world deterministic or probabilistic systems, and is particularly useful for students interested in careers in Engineering, Management, Finance, Economics and Teaching. Topics from: Deterministic and Probabilistic Operations Research Models, with the focus on developing the ability to solve practical problems using MATLAB and other numerical tools. Probability, Deterministic Dynamic Programming, Probabilistic Dynamic Programming, Queueing Theory, and Simulation. Throughout this course, you will develop problem-solving and analytical skills. You will learn to apply a range of Operations Research models to practical problems which involve decision-making and planning.
