Outline Outline The Optimisation Minor is designed to provide students with the necessary skills in mathematics and the ability to apply them to problems arising in business and industry. The Minor builds upon foundational knowledge in linear algebra into areas of transportation, project planning and management, network modelling and optimisation, logistic and supply chain management, warehouse design and operation. Industry-based units will help you to experience real applications. Graduates are well-equipped with the tools to address the key problems that need to be solved to improve the efficiency and productivity of business and industry.
