    Description

    Operational Research proposes scientific methods
    to help make better decisions. The idea is to develop and use mathematical and computer
    tools to master complex problems. Practical applications are historically in
    the direction and management of large systems of people, machines, and
    materials in industry, service, humanitarian aid, environment ...

    In this course, we will focus on especially on problems with a combinatorial
    structure: the number of possible solutions is finite but too large to be
    enumerated. The study of these problems involves a phase of modelling practical
    problems and then algorithmic resolution.

    At the end of this course, students will be able to propose a model and will be
    able to implement practical solutions (dedicated or industrial tools) to deal
    with a problem of decision or optimization.
