Seminar Information |
During the 2007 Fall Semester, Drs. W. Huang and A. Van Tuyl will be running a seminar on Operations Research. We, along with graduate students in the course, will give introductory lectures on various topics in Operations Research.
The times and location are:
We encourage any interested persons to attend; our goal is to make each topic self-contained so you may come to some or all of the talks.
The lectures from this seminar will be typed up and added to this web page. Please note that since these are lecture notes, some details have not been provided. Some mistakes may also remain.
