Course description and aims

This course covers some mathematical methods in operations research. The topics include, transportation problems, routing problems, network design problems, AHP and DEA. We also review some statistical models including Markov chain, queueing theory, and models for choice behavior. We discuss some topics related to game thery, e.g., stable marriage, spatial interaction model, linear production game, and social choice theory.
The objective of this course is to let students learn basic methods in operations research.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will have the necessary tools to do the following:
(1) Understand fundamental properties of optimization models
(2) Understand fundamental properties of statistical models
(3) Understand fundamental properties of some models related to game theory

Keywords

optimization problem, statistical model, game theory

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

In each class we give a lecture in the first half and then assign some exercise problems in the last half.
