		Courses in Operations Research
A wide range of courses in all fields is published on the web (e.g. consult The World Lecture Hall). The following list includes a selection of few O.R. courses. A more complete listing of courses in Operations Research is being proposed by the INFORMS Forum on Education. Hossein Arsham has a variety of courses online including Applied Management Science, Systems Simulation, Statistical Data Analysis and others. Harvey Greenberg maintains the Mathematical Programming Glossary and a Short Course in Linear Programming, among other coursewares. There's also the list of OR-Optimization Courses he teaches at the University of Colorado at Denver. The OR-Notes by J.E. Beasley provide a good insight on operations research. Metaheuristics by Pablo Moscato, with nice problems. Science and Technology of Decision Making focuses on the use of computing and information technology in the decision-making process, and considers everyday-life problems. Course notes of Michel Goemans on online algorithms, randomized algorithms, network flows, linear programming, and approximation algorithms. Randomized Algorithms taught at Carnegie Mellon. Algorithms Course Materials A collection of materials from different sites. Henry Wolkowicz of the University of Waterloo makes uses the WWW in many courses, including Linear Programming, Continuous Optimization and Semidefinite programming. Optimization IB, Statistics IB, Algorithms and networks IIA and Optimization and Control IIB at Cambridge University. Complete notes and examples. As well as Unsolved problems. Algorithms in Molecular Biology Dalit Naor and Ron Shamir, Tel Aviv University. Course Outline, references, assignments. Facilities Planning and Design by Udatta Palekar, University of Illinois. Lecture Notes on computational optimization and computational geometry by Jainer Chen, Promote Active Learning Not a course, but a way to make courses better. By Judith Liebman. Published in OR/MS Today, December 1996; Volume 23.
