Welcome to INEN 420 - Operations Research I Class Website for Spring 2005!
"Experience the joy of learning"
About the Course Objective
Hours: 3
Course Description: This course serves as an introduction to the field of
Operations Research (OR). The course will cover basic deterministic methods of
operations research (linear programming, network flows, integer programming and
nonlinear programming) and their applications to resource allocation problems in
business and industrial organizations.
Prerequisite: MATH 304 or equivalent.
Course Objectives: The objective of the course is to give the student
experience in
modeling, solving and analyzing problems using linear programming. Emphasis will
be stressed on theory, applications, and computer usage. By the end of the
course the student should have developed the skills to consider real-world
problems and determine whether or not linear programming is an appropriate
modeling framework; develop linear programming models that consider the key
elements
of the real world problem; solve the models for their optimal solutions;
interpret the models' solutions and infer solutions to the real-world problems.
