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.
