Instructional Material:
An Introduction to Operations Research, by Hamdy A. Taha. 8th edition.
Course Description:
Survey of deterministic methods of solving "real world" decision problems. The linear programming model and simplex method of solution, duality, and sensitivity analysis; and an introduction to integer and nonlinear programming are covered. Emphasis on modeling and problem solving. A survey of probabilistic methods for solving decision problems under uncertainty.
. (3 credit hours)Course Learning Outcome:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: Explain the theories and practices of Operations Research.
Develop a basic understanding of Operations Research and decision-making models and their application
Explain and use some of the most widely used Optimization ModelsDesignated weekly learning outcomes are listed in a separate file which is available upon request.
Teaching Method:
Emphasis will be placed on Lecture and problem solving. Student are required to complete a research paper and give the presentation in class. Course Schedule and Outline:

Academic Integrity:
Academic honesty is non-negotiable. All assignments submitted in fulfillment of course requirements must be the student's own work. Plagiarism and/or any other form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will result in a grade of zero on the assignment. Students should consult the Students Handbook on the University web-site or in the University catalog.
Attendance, Absence, Lateness, Incomplete:
International students in the US on F-1 visas, and Students receiving Veterans benefits are reminded that regular attendance is required. The university is required by law to report excessive absenteeism by students in these two categories.
In accordance with the policies of the University of Northern Virginia, class attendance is required. If a student has more than three absences in consecutive weeks, he or she will be asked to meet with the International Student Advisor.
It is the student's responsibility to inform the instructor prior to an absence from class. Messages can be left at the instructors e-mail or phone. Students are responsible for work missed during an absence. Each class will start promptly at the scheduled time.
A course grade of incomplete will be given only under very unusual circumstances, and only if the student has completed at least 75% of the assigned work by the last day of class and only when an incomplete contract is signed and approved.
