I'm in the second year of a three year bachelor in IE in Italy, I already know I want to do my master in applied math for engineering(in optimization, statistics and operations research, stochastic optimization...) and then find a job as an optimization specialist/operations research scientist.
here's my question:
how many complex mathematical models are used in IE?(involving measure theoretic probability or dynamical systems)
I ask this because next semester I'm gonna choose my elective, and I could take a math course(involving introduction to measure theory, Fourier transforms and distribution functions)
it could be useful anyway for my masters degree but I wanna get a real idea of the use of math in the field, let me know your experiences!!
