TOP REVIEWS FROM OPERATIONS RESEARCH (1): MODELS AND APPLICATIONS
A gentle but comprehensive introduction to the field of operations research.
I am new to this field of operations research and I really enjoyed this course, learned a lot. I never used math before this way, it was great fun! Thanks!
This course just opened my eyes to real value of mathematical operation in different business and now I am much more competent for jobs which need high knowledge of operational research.
I graduated from my university almost 18 years ago, it was great to refresh the basics of OR. Thank you.
