These course notes were originally written to support the course Math 208W Introduction to Operations Research at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. They are designed for students with minimal mathematical background to get a hands-on taste of Operations Research, a branch of mathematics which treats large-scale decision problems. The focus of the course is on exploring such problems, which are too big for analysis via pen-and-paper methods: indeed, simply collecting and managing the data are a big part of the challenge.
