Course Objective

Every company have to take long-term or short term decisions in today s marketing.These decisions can be about, stock, price, production, investment, financing, employment, competing or etc... In these decisions the troubled event for engineers is indefiniteness. The effective way of solve this trouble is using quantitative methods.
For producing Mathematical solutions and building the optimization conditions for limited resources, using optimization techniques is vitial
