... with Microsoft Excel and Python and with applications from operations research

I will teach you a programming technique with which you can compute optimal solutions for highly complex optimization problems. In many cases really fast, like in less than a second.


This technology is linear and integer programming!


Learning it can help you

  • find better and fairer solutions for the company or organization you work for

  • save time in finding a good solution

  • use resources more efficiently

  • make better business decisions

  • advance in your career

  • and yes, make the world a better place to be.


We will do everything from A to Z, so you do not need to know anything about this topic. In the end, you will be able to solve complex problems using Python and Microsoft Excel.

This course is great for

  • Professionals who want to improve their skillset

  • Executives in the industry who want to optimize processes in their companies

  • University students taking a course in operations research

  • Computer scientists who want to learn a new and extremely useful skill


You will learn how to tackle a real-world problem and solve it optimally: formulate it as a linear program or an integer program, formulate it with Excel or Python, and then solve it. We will see this with concrete examples like the knapsack problem, the assignment problem, the lot-sizing problem, and even your next dinner party! In the process, we will see many examples from the area of operations research.


Let’s get started!
