Titled Fundamentals of Optimization-B Note.
Introductory study of optimization techniques complementary to those covered in 352a. Extrema of functions of n-variables, implicit functions and Lagrange multipliers, inventory problems; difference methods; queuing, recurrent events and replacement policies; games; job-sequencing problems; dynamic programming. Recommended for students desiring mathematical background for operations research and industrial engineering and for those wishing to pursue advanced courses in mathematical programming and queuing theory. 2 hours lectures, one term. Prerequisites: Differential calculus (Math 217/237), some knowledge of probality and statistics, or consent of instructor.
352a is Not a prerequisite for 352b.
