Ops Research:Sec Studies

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor

Welcome to Operations Research! In this course, we will learn about many of the key topics in the field of Operations Research (OR). OR was born out of the need to solve real-world, complex resource allocation problems in World War II. Spurred by advances in modern computing, OR has grown and been successfully applied in numerous commercial and government applications both in the United States and abroad. In this course, we will use some mathematics to solve OR problems. However, this is not a math class. We will focus on the application of these techniques to solve real problems. Basic techniques and methods of Operations Research are presented. The course will cover the phases of problem identification, model building with analytical methods of decision making. Students will be introduced to the implementation of these algorithms and models.
