ISL 506 - Mathematical Programming

Course Objectives

The objective of this course is
1. to teach the advance techniques and the application of these techniques in the context mathematical programming.
2. to provide a scientific and managerial perspective for model building, solving, and analyzing the real life problems in both manufacturing and service sector.

Course Description

Mathematical programming techniques for modeling, optimizing, and analyzing decision making problems; goal programming-model building, graphical solution, analytic hierarchy process- model building and solution process, data envelopment analysis –input and output oriented model building and solution process, non linear programming-definitions, graphical solutions, classical optimization theory, non- linear algorithms. Application of these techniques in production and service systems. Computer solution of the problems.
