Catalog description

This course teaches students to create mathematical models of managerial problems. Types of models discussed include linear programming, integer-linear programming, non-linear programming, queuing models, decision-tree models, game-theoretic models, simulation models, inventory models and more. Each model is discussed in the context of the assumptions necessary for modeling and the robustness of the model’s managerial recommendations. | Prerequisites: 8 credits of calculus: MA-UY 1024 or MA-UY 1054 or MA-UY 1324 or an approved equivalent; and MA-UY 1124 or MA-UY 1154 or MA-UY 1424 or an approved equivalent; and MA-UY 2224 and MG-UY 2014 .
