• Sommario/riassunto: Operations Research, often abbreviated as OR, is a branch of Applied Mathematics. Its aim is to optimise mathematical models of reality involving probabilistic uncertainty and its results are applied to real life problems. This book intends to cover the main chapter of the OR probablisitc models based on optimisation.
