Delhi University SYBMS Sem 3 Syllabus: Operations Research


-1

OR

Operations Research, a sub-field of mathematics is an application of advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. Operations Research involves wide range of problem-solving techniques and methods like simulation, mathematical optimization and others which are computational and statistical in nature.

Operations Research (Paper No. 7) is a subject in undergraduate programme of BMS at Delhi University. Operations Research acquaints BMS students with the construction of optimization techniques and models for managerial decision situations. The emphasis is on understanding the concepts formulation and interpretation.
