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 />
