About this Unit
This unit presents the fundamental mathematical aspects of operations research and develops skills in quantitative approaches to decision making. Students learn how quantitative approaches work and how they can be applied and interpreted by the decision-maker in order to generate efficient solutions. The unit focuses on problem formulation and solution methods, and covers linear programming, integer programming and the Kalman filter.
