Thoughts about Learning

We accompany your journey to operations research. This may be a long journey, not always easy. We accept you as individuals, with different backgrounds, expectations, and motivations. We thus offer different ways of learning. You may attend our courses/lectures or watch videos, whatever suits you better. We encourage you to commit yourself and work with our material by offering class tests and quizzes and/or implementation tasks, including feedback. Whenever possible, you will find yourselves in interdisciplinary teams, to help you grow with different angles on the same subject. We offer the entire spectrum, from the theoretical foundations to the implementation in practice. We make an effort to deliver a lot and we certainly expect a lot. That includes perseverance and dealing with failure (because we all fail at times, and that is perfectly OK). We respect your own creativity and do not enforce the one and only solution approach. So don't ask for sample solutions, many roads lead to Rome.

Theses

We have open topics for Bachelors and Masters Theses in operations research and mathematical optimization.
