Course Descriptions for Liberal Arts and Sciences
MATH3109 Operations Research In this course, students will learn how to translate a variety of real-world business problems into mathematical models that can then be solved using standard techniques from Operations Research. The course will rely heavily upon applications and algorithms, including study of the mathematical underpinnings for further clarification. Students will learn to use a standard software package for solution of their mathematical formulations. Fall semester, alternate years, expected fall 2014. 4 credits Prerequisites: MATH2101 and either MATH1111 or MATH1121 MATH4101 Programming in SAS SAS is a statistical software package used by statisticians in many different fields. This course will teach students how to develop functions and scripts in SAS. Students should have some previous programming experience and familiarity with statistical methods. After using SAS to analyze data sets in a variety of fields, students will develop and pursue an independent research project. Students will finish the course by giving oral presentations on their work. Spring semester, alternate years, expected Emmanuel Emmanuel College College
