Modul

The module examination takes the form of a written comprehensive examination (60 min.). The written exam is offered every semester (usually in March and July) and can be repeated at any regular exam date. The module grade corresponds to the written exam grade.

The student

• knows and describes the basic concepts of the decisive subareas in Operations Research (Linear Optimization, Graphs, Integer Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization, Dynamic Optimization),
• knows the methods and models indispensable for quantitative analysis,
• models and classifies optimization problems and selects appropriate solution procedures to solve simple
  optimization problems independently,
• validates, illustrates and interprets obtained solutions.

None.

After an introductory thematization of the basic concepts of Operations Research, linear optimization, graph theory, integer optimization, nonlinear optimization and dynamic optimization are treated in particular. This module forms the basis of a series of advanced courses on theoretical and practical aspects of Operations Research.

Knowledge of Mathematics I and II is assumed, as well as programming knowledge for the calculator exercises.

The total workload for this module is approximately 150 hours (5 credit points).
The total number of hours per course is calculated from the time spent attending lectures and exercises, as well as examination times and the time required for an average student to achieve the learning objectives of the module.
