Operations Research

Reference courses

I suggest that the course Optimization Methods for Business Analytics offered at Sloan School of Management (MIT) provides a good background for mastering the skills required. It can be accessed at https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-053-optimization-methods-in-management-science-spring-2013/ Online Calculator for Performing Matrix Calculations that are required during the coursework can be obtained here: https://matrixcalc.org/en
