A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to operations research

Operations Research (OR) is the science of making optimal decisions under constraints using mathematical models. Mastering OR fundamentals—problem formulation, objective functions, decision variables, constraints, and solution methods—enables students to analyze and improve environmental systems such as waste management, water distribution, and pollution control.
