Statistics for management

Learning goals The course aims to provide the main modeling techniques used for the optimization problems in Operations Research and the basic elements of the packages for the solution of these problems. Knowledge and understanding. After attending the course the students know and understand the main classes of problems in Linear Programming and Integer Linear Programming and the basic elements of the packages for Mathematical Programming. Applying knowledge and understanding. At the end of the course the students are able to analyze simple real problems, write the appropriate Linear Programming or Integer Linear Programming model, find an optimal solution with a package for Mathematical Programming and analyze it. Making judgements. Students learn to recognize and modelling different classes of optimization problems, and to do a post-optimal analysis of the obtained results. Communication skills. During the lessons the students acquire the basic elements of the language of the discipline also thanks to the direct interaction with the teacher. Learning skills. After the exam the students have learned to model and solve using a package some classes of optimization problems and are able to deepen their knowledge and skills in more complex modeling contexts.
