Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Projection, Skills training
Learning outcomes
Acquaint students with basic methods of operational research, teach them to design models of linear programming for basic types of problems.
By passing the subject student disposes the basic knowledge of operational research disciplines and possibilities of its use whithin solution of optimization problems in transport and logistics systems. Undergraduate masters basic principles of mathematical programming tasks formulation and is able manualy solve tasks belonging into the area of linear programming.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge from discrete mathemetics, linear algebra and theory of sets is presumed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

During the semestr and at the final examination the student has to prove that he/she is well informed about the operation research and understands the explained subject matter. The tutor will notify the concrete requirements.
