随着大数据在各个行业的普及，数据分析和应用成为炙手可热的岗位.然而,当大众的目光都聚集在Business Analytics，Data Science等新兴的专业方向的时候，有一个闷声发大财的专业更值得大家关注，那就是数学、工程与计算机的另外一个结合体，也是BA，Management Science类项目之母：运筹学
Operations Research诞生于二战，运筹学的优化和随机模型成功帮助英军知己知彼，运筹帷幄。如今在商业战场硝烟四起的年代，同样适用。
运筹学究竟研究什么？该学科是一门应用数学学科，充分利用各类数学模型和统计分析学的知识当法，去寻找复杂问题里面最优或近似最优的解答。常设于工学院或商学院下的STEM项目。
