| Recommended semester: 7th - 9th semester |
| Scope and form: Lectures and project work. |
| Evaluation: Approval of coursework/reports
|
| Examination: 13-scale |
| Prerequisites: Introductory operations research and statistics and at least one other OR course. |
| No credit points with: 04434 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 12 |
| Aim: To enable students to build conceptual models and mathematical models as an aid to practical problem solving. Giving the students a broad and operational knowledge of the model concept is emphasized. The course maps out and discusses the mathematical model types used in other courses at IMM. To some degree it also maps out and discusses solution methods for various mathematical model types. |
| Contents: Introduction to mathematical modelling: problems, systems, and models. The problem solving process. Descriptive and optimization models; decision models; static and dynamic models; models in discrete and continuous time; models with discrete and continuous states. Solution methods: analytic, numerical, and simulation. Illustrative examples. |
