Special cases of uniform, binomial, Poisson, normal, etc. distributions. Mathematical expectation. Derived distributions. Sampling from a normal population. Elements of decision theory. Various methods of estimating parameters and testing hypotheses.
23 Engineering and Managerial Economics Application of the concepts of efficiency and costs to engineering and management decision making. Choice of inputs and processes. Evaluation of capital projects. Examples will include make or buy decisions and replacement of equipment decisions.

Correlation coefficient analysis. Elementary time series analysis. Finite population sampling and sample survey methods.
Prerequisite: MS21 or equivalent
43 Economics of Enterprise and Benefit
Cost Analysis
Applications of models of household and enterprise behaviour to private and public decision making. Seller strategy in consumer and industrial markets. Valuation of nonmarket goods. Examples will include use of buyer behaviour data to determine market segments, use of history of competitor behaviour to determine bidding strategy, and evaluation of a public investment.
Prerequisite: MS23 or equivalent
44 Industrial Psychology
Considerations of perception, cognition, motivation, job attitudes, and job satisfactions. Discussions of the measurements of performance and procedures for selection to match worker and job. A review of psychological and physiological costs and benefits of work.

Detailed analysis of Markov processes including analytic (generating functions) and graphical methods. Recurrent events intluding birth and death processes, branching processes and random walks. Waiting line models and their applications. Markovian decision problems. Application areas include inventory control, reliability, equipment replacement, maintenance, design of service facilities, reservoir control, etc. Prerequisite: MS21 or equivalent
47 Optimization Models for Policy Analysis
Basic formulations and methods of linear optimization. Perturbation analysis. Imputed costs and benefits. Special applications: transportation, goal programming, decentralization through transfer prices, multiple objectives. Integer linear programming, zeroone, and network flow problems. Linearization techniques. Projected gradient methods; applications in quadratic programming. Introduction to chanceconstrained linear programming.
§1 Systems Simulation
Systems as multicomponent, bounded interacting objects. Conservative and non-conservative systems. Physical and mathematical analogues and models. Model formulation and computability: Simulation as iterative approximation of non-provable convergence. Event distribution models and Monte Carlo simulation, with industrial examples. Cybernetic (or dynamic) simulation, with industrial examples.
52 Management Information Systems The information system as a component of the organization; relation to the management process; role in
_ support of decision making; data and information in
the organization; components of an information system; data bases; computer support: human consideration in implementation. Industrial examples as supporting case material.
53 Decision Theory and Organization
Group interactions and the problems of industrial macro-organizations. Discussion of organizational decision-making and control processes, with particular emphasis on the relevant theories of structural relations of organizations.
