Minor Requirements
 

The interdisciplinary program in Operations Research consists of six courses that must include four core courses and two electives. Description of the four required courses follows.

Required Courses

01:711:453. Theory of Linear Optimization (3) Prerequisite: 01:640:250 Credit cannot be given for both this course and 01:640:354 or 01:640:453. A course emphasizing the theory of linear optimization. Topics include convex sets, polyhedra, Farkas lemma, canonical forms, simplex algorithm, duality theory, revised simplex method, primal-dual methods, complementary slackness theorem, maximal flows, transportation problems, 2-person game theory.

01:711:465. Integer Programming (3) Prerequisites: 01:198:111, and 01:711:453 or 01:640:354. Discrete optimization models, linear programming relaxations of integer programs, structured integer problems, enumerative methods, cutting planes, preprocessing techniques, nonlinear binary optimization.

01:711:481. Case Studies in Applied Operations Research (3) Prerequisites: 01:711:453 or 01:640:354, 01:711:465, and 01:640:424. Applications of operations research to real-life problems, typical operations research problems in business, industry, and government, model formulation and interpretation, determination of relevant parameters, formulation of mathematical programming models.

01:640:424 Stochastic Models in Operations Research See the undergraduate catalog for description of this course.

In addition one can substitute 01:640:354 Linear Optimization for 01:711:453. See the undergraduate catalog for the description of this course.
