Optimization, transportation problem, project planning and decision theory
During the early years of my career, from 1975 to 1990, I worked in the "Operations Research" unit of the Department of Management, Information Processing, and Statistics—serving successively as a research assistant, senior research assistant, and finally as a university lecturer. In addition to teaching foundational mathematics for economists (covering topics such as linear and non-linear optimization and transport optimization), I taught operations research, specifically focusing on decision-making and network planning techniques. At that time, instruction did not involve the use of computing tools; instead, practical examples and algorithms were calculated by hand for illustrative purposes. I am now pleased to provide computational tools for these subject areas. The field of operations research is divided into four thematic groups, some of which comprise multiple tools.
