Beginners in Operations Research usually find it difficult to formulate
a model on their own or to fully understand a model without the support of an
advisor. Students get better over time by studying more and more examples. In
this way they learn how to formulate a mathematical model. The idea behind this
online tutorial is to support the learning process. Typical tips and tricks are
explained in a series of short videos.

This material is for an audience in the early stage of the operations research
experience. Things are explained on a very basic level. Bachelor and master
students will benefit most.

The videos can be found on YouTube. A playlist link can be retrieved from the
following website:

If you find this interesting, it would be very much appreciated if you communicated this link to your students by referencing the video playlist
in your course material or by adding a link to your website for
instance.
I hope that your students can benefit from it.

Thanks a lot and take care,
