Integer & Nonlinear Programming and Network Flow (#625)
Issued by
Statistics.com
The course objective is to provide information to specify and implement optimization models that solve network problems (what is the shortest path through a network, what is the least cost way to route material through a network with multiple supply nodes and multiple demand nodes). Students also learn how to solve Integer Programming (IP) problems and Nonlinear Programming (NLP) problems. Spreadsheet-based software is used to specify and implement models.
