Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce to students the basic principles of decision under uncentairnity. In the course, we present some basic methods for solving of stochastic problems based on markov processes theory, queueing theory and inventory models.
Students are able to model and solve decision making problems using various mathematical methods and support the solution using exact methods also in case when the randomness plays a role.
Prerequisites
The course has no prerequisities.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam

Credit Requirements: Accomplishment of three seminar works. Examination Requirements: Exam has got two parts - written and oral. In the written one, students have to prove that they can recognize types of decision problems, to choose suitable methods to solve them and suggest a suitable solution. It is necessary to obtain at least 50 percent of points. The oral examination is focused on work with PC and discussions about the solution of the written part of the examination. Student will not pass exam unless he answers at least one of three questions. Final mark is based on the results of the credit tests, the written and oral part of the examination.
