IE 3820 - Stochastic Processes

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course continues the modeling approach to problem solving by presenting techniques used to analyze and design systems affected by random variables. Queueing theory, Markov processes, and decision theory are examined. Case studies and computer algorithms are utilized. (prereq: IE 381 , MA 136 , MA 262 , junior standing)
