BUSP 4550 - Programmable Optimization and Simulation

Credits: 3 hours
This course introduces the principles and techniques of applied mathematical programming and computational methods. Computer software will be used extensively to solve both optimization
problems. The course also introduces the use of probabilistic models and their applications, including stochastic processes and simulation. Topics include linear programming, integer linear programming, non-linear programming, network optimization, inventory theory, queuing systems, and sensitivity analysis.
