Find your next solver

Advanced Analytics in Practice focusing on breaking down what it takes to build real-world advanced analytics applications.

AGI? No, thank you! Learning and Intelligent Optimization? Yes, please! https://intelligent-optimization.org/

Web-based app that is intended to act as an entry point for data scientists and problem solvers who could benefit from optimization; the game teaches players why optimization is valuable and important, why it’s difficult (by showcasing the scaling and added complexity of optimization throughout round play), and why solvers and other optimization algorithms are essential in finding an optimal solution.

Discrete Optimization Talks (DOTs) is a virtual seminar series from the Mixed Integer Programming Society (MIPS), a technical section of the Mathematical Optimization Society (MOS). Topics of interest are theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of integer and combinatorial optimization. The typical format of each session is two 30-minute talks.

Where Operations Research practitioners share real-world strategies and emerging techniques for optimal decision-making.

A gentle introduction to optimization with Python.

It features conversations between students, faculty and professionals around OR-related topics

Analytics, Data Science, and AI - Actionable insights and thoughts to drive positive business transformation and impact.

The TLC is a simple constrained integer program turned into a game that you can play in a classroom with Legos. In each round of the game, your team acts as a boutique woodworking company who must decide which items to build and sell to the market. The goal is to decide how many of each type of item to build to maximize profits and beat other teams, where you are constrained by how many component pieces you have available.

The Network consists of six academic and nine industrial participants from five EU countries, USA and Chile. The participants combine strong and complementary expertise, within industry sectors ranging from energy, retailing, insurance to banking, as well as national statistical offices.

A book covering the basics of Operations Research

Developed to help spark an interest for mathematics in children and young adults. I use optimization concepts in the context of real-life problems as motivation. All you need are a printer to print the pages with the instructions and a pair of scissors to cut out the game pieces.

Business Intelligence using optimal decision making tools.

Discussions around optimization, interviewing academics in the field of Operations Research and Industrial Engineering

Seems some of us can't see a problem without wanting to take a crack at solving it. Does that sound like you? Good. Forge ahead and ponder this month's problem. We'll post a new one every month, and allow a month for you to submit solutions (we may even publish submitted answers, especially if they're correct).
