One of the most important responsibilities of managers in businesses is to make decisions. Today's competitive conditions require that optimal decisions be supported by numerical methods. The aim of this course is to gain the knowledge and skills to formulate a problem encountered in decision making, to establish the mathematical model, to obtain the solution from the model, to check and evaluate the model and its solution, to apply the obtained solution.
