Enabling students to develop abstract thinking and acquire basic knowledge in the field of operational research. The aim is to apply Operation Research theory to solve different problems in engineering

Ability to use the acquired knowledge in further education in engineering subjects so as to postulate and solve mathematical models from the field of operational research.

Markov processes, Birth-death processes, Poisson processes, Queueing theory, Markovian model; Combined arrivals and departures, Priorities, Series queues, Queues with general distribution, Analysis by imbedded Markov chain. Part of the course is organized in the form of independent study and research work in the field of mathematics. Study and research work is based on primary scientific sources, organization and conduction of experiments and statistical data analysis, numerical simulations, and possible paper in the field of mathematics.

Lectures. Consultations. The presentation of the theoretical part during the lecture classes is followed by the characteristic examples which contribute to better understanding of the subject matter. In addition to lectures there are regular consultations. Through research and study work the student will, on the bases of scientific journals and other relevant literature that has been studied independently, develop further understanding of the material covered in lectures. Working with the course teacher the student develops the ability to independently work on a scientific paper.
