Yaman Paternotte Hande (coordinator) | Yaman Paternotte Hande Aims
Upon completion of this course, the student gains insight in the applications of advanced operations research methods. In particular, the student will be able to
- See the relevance of quantitative techniques in business and economics
- Develop exact and heuristic solution techniques for large scale mixed integer programming problems
- Understand the use of advanced operations research techniques in solving real-life cases
Previous knowledge
This course focuses on students with a strong quantitative and technical/scientific background and requires background in modeling and solution techniques for linear and integer programming.

Evaluation
Evaluation: Applications of Operations Research (B-KUL-H75358)
Explanation
The evaluation consists of a final exam that accounts for 100% of the final grade.
The result is calculated and communicated as a whole number on a scale of 20.
Information about retaking exams
The features of the evaluation and determination of grades are the same as those of the first examination opportunity
