Description
The component will discuss a range of methods used in Operational Research for assisting with the analysis of problems from a wide range of real life settings. Many of the examples given will concern the application of Operational Research to clinically related problems, although examples will also be given related to other areas such as transport and manufacturing industry. The component will introduce mathematical modelling methods frequently used in Operational Research, including linear programming, integer programming, stochastic analysis, queuing theory and compartmental modelling. Students will also be introduced to the practical problem solving methodology of Operational Research and the processes involved in developing a mathematical modelling structure.
