    Course Description

In particular, the course focuses on various ways of modeling, or thinking structurally about, decision problems in order to enhance decision-making skills. Topics include decision analysis, probability, random variables, statistical estimation, regression, simulation, linear optimization, as well as nonlinear and discreteoptimization. Management cases are used extensively to illustrate the practical use of modeling tools to improve the management practice.
