OR/MATH 441 - Deterministic Operations Research

Welcome to the OR/MATH 441 webpage!

The course introduces the basic mathematical ideas and method of Deterministic Operations Research. We will discuss modeling real life problems, and show how to develop, solve, and interpret a variety of deterministic optimization models. Students will gain experience in converting a variety of applied problems to optimization models, representing these models in a sophisticated modeling language, solving these models with a variety of algorithms and software, and interpreting the results using sensitivity analysis and other approaches.
