Operations Research
The study of operations research is concerned
with mathematical methods and tools for
solving problems relating to the allocation
of scarce resources subject to constraints.
Frequently these problems have to do with determining
the least cost or greatest profit possible for
a cost or profit function subject to constraints
such as capacities and required amounts over a very large
number of variables. Important problems within this
space include minimimum cost routing problems,
network maximum flow or minimum cost flow problems,
and machine scheduling problems.
