Operations research aims to apply scientific approaches in order to design and manage systems with scarce resources. This course, which is compulsory in the curriculum, enables students to provide the optimal solution to the problems encountered in an organization. The material will prove useful for improving and optimizing the performance of an organization. In this context, the aims of this course are as follows: • Formulating mathematical models for real world problems. • Introducing the solution methods for mathematical programming models. • Examining the validity of the models and interpreting the obtained results.
