The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide the students with the skills to plan and model complex systems, and rational and optimal solution methods. Because of learning, the student will understand the underlying algorithms and be able to interpret the results. He/She will be able to formulate problems as abstract models, which can be solved by generic algorithms.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : learn the basic concepts of operations research.1,21,
LO - 2 : able to model real life problems.1,21,
LO - 3 : able to apply various operations research techniques.1,21,
LO - 4 : able to interpret in detail the findings obtained with operations research techniques.1,21,
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
