The main research focus of our internationally-renowned Theoretical and Computational Optimisation Group is on mathematical theory and methods applicable to managerial decision-making, particularly non-linear, discrete, and multi-criteria optimisation; research is typically a mixture of theoretical investigation and practical application or industrial collaboration; in some cases it is theoretical and leads to the development of new mathematical theories applicable in management mathematics; elements of this find their way into challenging taught courses within the School; members of the group teach courses such as: Linear and non-linear programming; combinatorial optimisation; game theory; operations management; heuristics; multi-criteria optimisation; topics in management mathematics; research frontiers in management mathematics; students acquire widely useful knowledge and skills, ranging from theory to computational implementation and live applications; the course examines the basic concepts in a broad range of managerial, industrial and scientific problems and illustrate how these may be applied in a variety of contexts to provide powerful solutions.
