This course covers the main types of optimization models - linear, integer, and non-linear programs - as they apply to decision-making in various business functional areas. Upon successful completion, students will demonstrate competency in formulating and solving optimization models of real-life complexity using state-of-the-art tools in Python alongside Excel's Solver. The course emphasizes proficiency in model-building and using software tools rather than theory. Students may not earn credit in both DAT 5567 and DAT 6567.
