Operations research is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with the development and application of analytical methods to improve management and decision-making, often overlapping with disciplines like industrial engineering and statistics. It employs techniques like modeling, optimization, and simulation to arrive at optimal solutions to complex problems. With roots in military efforts before World War II, operations research has grown to address problems in various fields, including logistics, finance, and healthcare, with notable contributions from experts like George Dantzig, John von Neumann, and Claude Shannon.
