Linear Optimization
Part 1: Linear Programming Models
Operations Research
Operation research: Decision making tool based on mathematical modelling and analysis
used to process the transformation of data into insights into making better decisions
Model: structure which has been built purposely to exhibit features and characteristics of
some other object.
Mathematical model: model that involves a set of mathematical relationships which
correspond to the characterization of the relationships in the real world.
Reasons we need them:
- Get a greater understanding of the object we are modelling
- To simplify
- To analyze mathematically
- To experiment
By using mathematical model, we are able to make use of the share in similar characteristics
of settings fundamentally different in order to solve them easier and maybe similarly.
