本课程使用一部由Richard C. Larson与Amedeo R. Odoni教授合着、超过500页的线上教科书
《都市作业研究》。本书于1981年出版,但是绝大多数的内容仍然适用,并且是课程的指定阅读作业;为了扩增书中内容并使之符合现实环境的变动,因此在必要之处提供课堂补充资料,在此以PDF文件呈现。在本书的第三章,以互动彩色动画如实地呈现某部分最令人玩味的机率应用问题,这些也包含在指定阅读作业中。
本课程已由Universia翻译成西班牙文与葡萄牙文版本。
This MIT subject includes a full 500+ page online textbook,
Urban Operations Research, by Profs. Richard C. Larson and Amedeo R. Odoni. While that book was published in 1981, most of the material is still current and is referenced in the course reading assignments. To augment the book and to bring it up to date where necessary, there are lectures handouts, available here as PDF files. Interactive color animations bring to life some of the most interesting applied probability problems in Chapter Three of the book. These, too, are referenced in the reading assignments.
