Operational research is a allowing the formalisation and resolution of organizational problems and decisions that are in the business world. We can mention the problems of transport, warehouse location, vehicule routing, schedule, storage or energy reserve managment (hydraulic, gas, nuclear fuel); but also of particular applications (circuit or wiring design, frequence allocation, etc.) conducting to the study of fundamental optimisation problems, often combinatorial in nature.
The course presents some broad families of mathematical methods useful in operational research, to give modeling capacity and enable to problems in which fast resolution algorithms exist. We put the emphasis on techniques from linear or convexe programming, which are often the source of such algorithms.
There are no pre-requisites, except for a familiarity with applied mathematics, which could be aquired following one of this field's courses in second year. It should be noted that operational research is also studied in the second-semester in-depth informatics program, in courses on algorithm analysis and constraint programming, which provide an additional insight on the subject. This course can be followed independently or in association with those courses.
