General objectives
This course introduces Operations research as an optimization process on the particular context of graph theory. In this course, we will explain well-known problems of operations research as the shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and maximum flow. We will study how to modeling into graph and which algorithms solve that kind of problem.

Five competences will be evaluated in relation to:
- Vocabulary and mathematical concepts
- Problem modeling
- Application of algorithms
- Adaptation of a known algorithm
- Interpretation of a result
