Course description

The field of operations research involves the development of mathematical models to improve decision making at both the strategic and operational levels. The course teaches practices of operations research. It has broad applicability in industry and government and can also assist in making personal decisions. Throughout the course we will spend our time developing; solving; and analyzing mathematical models for decisions in relevant; real-world contexts. We will tackle realistic problems; which are typically large and complex. Appropriate technologies including spreadsheets and the graphing calculator will be utilized.

Below are some guidelines for choosing the best course for an individual student. This is not a placement test and it should not be used as the only criteria for making placement decisions.

Students entering Advanced Math for Decision Making should have a good understanding of the following concepts:

? Understanding properties of linear functions.

? Graphing and describing features of linear functions.

? Defining variables and using them to model relationships among quantities.

? Knowing the basic concepts of probability.

? Solving real-world problems using mathematical models and interpreting the results.
