MSc in Economics
Content
The course is
a traditional introduction to Operations Research. We start with
general aspects of modeling followed by the main modeling family:
Linear Programming. We include the Simplex algorithm as well as
sensitivity analysis and duality. We consider special LP's such
as transportation problems and various network models. We then move
on to integer programming and dynamic programming. Finally, simple
stochastic models for inventories and queues are considered.
While the course in many cases includes the theoretical background for the models, high emphasis is put on modeling of cases and examples.

Learning Outcome
Studerende der gennemfører kurset i Operationsanalyse, skal kunne behandle praktisk anvendelige modeller og løsningsmetoder til beslutningsproblemer, som opstår i virksomheder, organisationer og samfund.
Undervisningen stiler mod at indøve såvel modelopstilling som modelløsning, og der lægges vægt på præcise ræsonnementer og begrundelser for metoderne som anvendelse og vurdering af disse. Kursets deltagere skal være i stand til på egen hånd at løse konkrete problemer og i klart og tydeligt sprog at redegøre for problemstilling og løsning.
