the philosophy: more complicted it is, better it is! you have to learn by heart everything but you don't have the right to take notes (and you don't have the time), the teacher is reading his powerpoint which will be given to the student at the end of the semester only before the exams.
Example: POM courses
equation to find the best location for your production appart from the transportaion cost from your retailers: TREND EQUATION
T=1,2,3...time data / b= Slope of line/a= value of Y when T=0 / n= number of data points
Yt= a+bt
a= Ey = BEt/n
b= nEty-EtEy/nEt2 - (Et)2
(nice!....)
