General data

Course ID: 360-FS1-2BOPa
Erasmus code / ISCED: 11.102 The subject classification code consists of three to five digits, where the first three represent the classification of the discipline according to the Discipline code list applicable to the Socrates/Erasmus program, the fourth (usually 0) - possible further specification of discipline information, the fifth - the degree of subject determined based on the year of study for which the subject is intended. / (0541) Mathematics The ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) code has been designed by UNESCO.
Course title: Operational Research and optimization
Name in Polish: Operational Research and optimization
Organizational unit: Faculty of Mathematics
Course groups: (in Polish) Erasmus+ sem. zimowy
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 4.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Prerequisites (description):

Student have to know basic notions from Linear algebra and Mathematical Analysis

Short description:

In this course students learn about mathematical models of decision and linoptimization problems, linear programming, nonlinear programming, transportation problem and its generalizations, computer methods of finding optimal solutions, discrete programming, mulicriterial programming and programming under noncertain conditions.

After classes they achieve the competence of building models and solving optimization problems including computer programming and interpretation of obtained results.
