OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Operations research is a scientific approach of using mathematical models, statistics and algorithms to aid in decision-making. It
is usually used to analyze complex real-world systems and improve or optimize
the performance. |
INFORMS
The Institute for Operations Research and the Management
Sciences (INFORMS) serves the scientific and professional needs of OR/MS
investigators, scientists, students, educators, and managers, as well as the
institutions they serve, by such services as publishing a variety of
journals that
describe the latest OR/MS methods and applications and by organizing
professional conferences. The
Institute also serves as a focal point for OR/MS professionals, permitting
them to communicate with each other and to reach out to other professional
societies and to the varied clientele of the profession's research and
practice. |

UMASS Amherst Student Chapter of
INFORMS
The goal of the UMASS Amherst Student Chapter of INFORMS (Institute for
Operations Research and the Management Sciences) is to encourage interest in
the field of operations research and the management sciences and to provide
a
means of communication between people having interest in the management
sciences and operations research. Members of the chapter are undergraduate
and
graduate students from various schools and departments including: the
Isenberg
School of Management, the School of Engineering, the Department of Resource
Economics, and the Department of Mathematics. The first major activity of
the
student chapter is a speaker series. Among the other activities that are
planned for the coming year are field trips, student presentations of
research,
as well as social activities.
The UMass INFORMS Chapter is recognized as
a Graduate Student Organization (GSO). We are very thankful for the
financial support of our student events through the Graduate Student Senate
(GSS). More information on the GSS can be found on
GSS Website.
Undergrads and graduate students from all departments who
are interested in OR/MS are welcome to attend and join in future meetings
and activities. This chapter is truly interdisciplinary! |
