Lecture: Getting Started
Professor Edward Kaplan from Yale University will deliver the third lecture in the Spring 2006 Operations Research / Management Science Seminar series.
Title: Getting Started
The operations research mindset views the world as an endless sea of decision problems awaiting recognition and formulation as such. Where do good problems come from? How can individual researchers tell if a particular issue is worth pursuing? Without claiming any global discoveries, I will revisit the front end of some personal adventures in policy modeling to try and figure out how they began.
This series is organized by the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter. Support for this series is provided by the Isenberg School of Management, the Department of Finance and Operations Management, and the John F. Smith Memorial Fund.
