Operations Research: Linear Models

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to linear programming and its applications to industrial engineering design. The simplex method and duality theory are covered in detail. Formulation, solution algorithms, and applications of several problem classes are presented including network models and integer programs. Through a class project, students are introduced to the process of developing an optimization model, including the ideas of database, matrix generators, and report writers. FORMATS: Lecture | Lab
