Course Learning Outcomes

Operations Research deals with problems from business, government, industry, science, technology, and many other areas of practical activity. This course is designed to give students the insight and the analytical skills required for the higher-level courses. On successful completion of this course the students will be able to: define and formulate linear programming problems; solve linear programming problems using appropriate techniques. They will also have an understanding of the theoretical basis of the algorithms.
