Applied Mathematics/Operations Research Concentration AMORDegree Type: Bachelor of Science College(s): Arts and Sciences
Why Choose Operations Research?Operations Research is a relatively new field of mathematics, having begun during World War II. The military had to answer such questions as 'How do we distribute supplies to troops?' or 'What is the best way to position our fleet?' Businesses adapted these mathematical techniques to industry for production scheduling, inventory and marketing problems. Operations Research deals with determining the optimum way of solving a problem based on a mathematical model. Job opportunities include working in business or industry or for the military.
