research: stochastic models<br />
Lect: 3. 3 pts. Professor Whitt.<br />
For undergraduate students only. Prerequisite:<br />
SIEO W3600. Some of the main stochastic models<br />
used in engineering and operations research<br />

planning. Continuous and periodic review<br />
models: optimal policies and heuristic solutions,<br />
deterministic and probabilistic demands. Material<br />
requirements planning. Aggregate planning of<br />
production, inventory, and work force. Multi-echelon<br />
integrated production-inventory systems.<br />
Production scheduling. Term project.<br />
SIEO W3600y Introduction to probability and<br />
statistics<br />
Lect: 3. Rec: 1. 4 pts. Professor Sigman.<br />
Prerequisite: calculus. Fundamentals of probability<br />
and statistics used in engineering and applied science.<br />
Probability: random variables, useful distributions,<br />
expectations, law of large numbers, central limit<br />
theorem. Statistics: point and confidence interval<br />
estimation, hypothesis tests, linear regression.<br />
IEOR E3608x Introduction to mathematical<br />
programming<br />
Lect: 3. Rec: 1. 4 pts. Professor Phillips.<br />
Prerequisite: Linear algebra (MATH V2010 or<br />
APMA E3101) and data structures. Introduction to<br />
mathematical programming models and computational<br />
techniques. Linear programming and the<br />
simplex method, dynamic programming, production<br />
planning applications.<br />
