Objectives of the Course
One of the most important responsibilities of managers in business is deciding. Today's competitive conditions require optimal decisions to be supported by numerical methods. The aim of this course is to formulate a problem encountered in decision making, to establish a mathematical model, to obtain a solution from a model, to control the model and solution, to gain the knowledge and skill to apply the solution obtained.
