Through mathematical modeling, it seeks to design, improve and operate complex systems in the best possible way. The mathematical tools used for the solution of such models are either deterministic or stochastic, depending on the nature of the system modeled. This ‘course focuses on advanced deterministic models and methods as well as stochastic models fand methods. By studying this course, a student will learn very powerful modeling and solution techniques for decision-making problems. A student will also learn how to formulate practical problems into mathematical models and describe methods and software to solve them in a reasonable amount of time. Modeling approaches and fundamental solution methodologies are both emphasized in this course. A leamer will also become familiar about how to analyze the results of a model, interpret them, and concisely present the insights obtained from their analysis. .
