No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1974–75 (before that, 1971–72 to 1973–74 used the number for Combinatorial Methods in Operations Research(a) Combinatorial Systems(b) Boolean Methods 457Applied Combinatorial Mathematics and Combinatorial Methods in Operations Research); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Production scheduling including finite sequencing for a single machine, parallel machines, flow-shop scheduling, the general - n/m job-shop processes. Capital budgeting with time-shared experierice. Non-differentiable optimization techniques used in warehouse design and automated machine control. Primarily for students interested in applying mathematics to problems of business, industry and operations research. 2 hours lectures, one term Prerequisites: M352 is recommended but not required
As printed in the 1974–75 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Representations by networks; simulation; recurrence relations; Markov processes, application to queueing theory, random walks, renewal theory, activity scheduling, etc. 2 hours lectures.
Boolean algebras; pseudo Boolean programming; applications to switching circuits; selection problems; graph theory; integer programming, etc. 2 hours lectures.
This is a relatively nonspecialized course on modern applied algebra. Emphasis is on the combinatorial foundations of applied mathematics. 2 hours lectures.
