Integração entre o ensino de cálculo e o de pesquisa operacional

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities of integration between the teaching of Differential Calculus and Operational Research. The integration is obtained with some small changes in the way that calculus is traditionally presented and some major changes in Operational Research classes. We show that, with the above-mentioned changes, Operational Research can play an important role in the transition between the first half and the last part of the Production Engineering courses.

Análise do ensino de modelagem matemática na disciplina de pesquisa operacional em cursos de engenharia de produção

“…Com os atuais recursos tecnológicos, não parece ter validade fazer com que os alunos repitam exercícios iguais com os chamados "malabarismos algébricos" (Mello & Mello, 2003). Para esses autores, as avaliações dos alunos não deveriam ser constituídas somente pelas habilidades conquistadas pela repetição, o que acabaria sendo desnecessárias as listas de exercícios.…”

Application of operational research in process optimization in the cement industry

“…According to [1], Operational Research originated during World War II, where the Allied support teams had to solve various logistical and tactical problems involved in the highly complex military strategy, which would result in saving the lives of their soldiers. Multidisciplinary groups of engineers, physical mathematicians and others were created to solve these problems, in order to preserve resources, whether human or material, since this control would win the war.…”
