Operations Fun: Data-Driven Optimization

3 units

The intent of this course of this course is to present a comprehensive look into the practical appeal of linear and integer programming. Each unit will focus on a particular class of optimization problems, and include a data-driven case study revolving around a real-world application. The topics of these case studies run the gamut from fantasy football line-up selection to Amazon delivery truck routing to picking the perfect McDonald's order. DAT 3015 or CS 1301 strongly recommended.
