tutORial Project

In early 2000 the IFORS Educational Resources Committee launched a special project called tutORial. Its mission was to initiate a long term international collaborative effort aiming to develop a comprehensive collection of web-based tutorial modules for OR/MS topics.

The Project was completed at the end of 2007. Its web site (http://www.ifors.ms.unimelb.edu.au/tutorial) provides more than 30 modules covering a wide range of subjects. The complete list of topics is as follows (some topics have more than one module):

Dynamic Programming: Die Hard at the Pub Towers of Hanoi Shortest Path Problem Dijkstra's Algorithm Knapsack Problem Critical Path Method Chained Matrix Product Replacement Problem Bridge and Torch Dropping Eggs False Coin Problem Traveling Salesman Problem Integer Programming: Branch and Bound (Knapsack) Gomory Cuts Royal Optimization New Royal Optimization 8 Easy Pieces

Linear Algebra: Row Operations The Equator The Inverter Determinants Linear Programming: The Simplex Place Virtual Duality Dual Simplex Method Transportation Simplex Algorithm Hungarian Algorithm Simulation: M/M/1 Queues G/G/s Queues Queueing Networks Random Generator Tester
