DescriptionHone the skills you need to solve problems in computer science, business, communications, and more. Combinatorics looks at permutations and combinations. Optimization explores ways to make any operation work more efficiently within given constraints. Together, they provide powerful methods for modelling and solving large management problems, from optimizing flight schedules to making a factory's layout as efficient as possible.
