Prerequisites Math 266. Formulation of mathematical models for systems, concepts and methods of improving search, linear programming and sensitivity analysis, network models and integer programming. Nonmajor graduate credit. Since the purpose of homework assignments is to help you to learn the material, grading emphasizes completion rather than detailed correctness. I reserve the right to give quizzes but they should be infrequent.
Exercises refer to completion of in-class activities.
Three tests and a final exam will be given. The final exam will be comprehensive. You may bring four note sheets to the final. Tentative dates for the three in-class tests are on the course calendar. Your total points will be accumulated according to the percentages listed, and a final grading scale determined at the end of the semester.
