課程名稱 動態規劃與應用(“Dynamic Programming” )
課程概述

        This course emphasizes the use of stochastic optimization methods in theory and practice. General knowledge of basic probability theory and stochastic processes is assumed. Applications considered include revenue management, queueing systems and production and inventory systems. However, the topics discussed also have wide applications to financial and economic systems. We will also emphasize on showing the existence of optimal policy structure for a wide variety of dynamic optimization problems.

課程名稱 決策分析與賽局(Decision Analysis and Games )
課程概述         This is an application oriented course on decision making. We will emphasize the use of dynamic decision methods in theory and practice, especially when uncertainties and multiple decision makers are issues. These methods are widely used and covered in other courses, including decision analysis, stochastic optimization methods, and game theory. However, none of the previous courses emphasize on the dynamic interaction between decision makers and between decisions in different time periods. Different from other courses in decision making, this course will focus on the multiple period, multiple decision maker decision problems.We will also emphasize on the modeling of uncertainties in multi-period decision making problems.
        Applications considered in this course include supply chain coordination, revenue management, and technology  management. However, the topics discussed also have wide applications to other financial and economic systems.
