<p>OR sounds really interesting, I'm considering trying to get a concentration in it if I go for an MBA. However, I do not have the math background of someone who majored in math, physics, engineering, etc.</p>
<p>I'm an operations management major, so I have decent experience with statistics, and I'm taking calc 2 next semester (my last semester) to try to catch up a little. Then I want to get a linear algebra class in part time or something. </p>
<p>Do you think I'd be able to handle it with my background?</p>
<p>You'll be fine. Stats is most important, and if you get through calc and linear algebra you'll be ahead of the game. The main thing is to be interested in it. If you want to do, I don't think you'll have a problem doing well at it.</p>
<p>thanks, appreciate the feedback. ive been looking at some of the recent grads at some schools and they all came from schools like the Indian Institute of Technology where they studied something like nuclear-biological-rocket-science. if its mainly stats, i think i can handle it though.</p>
<p>I would personally learn metavariable calc, even if you have to self teach it and take at least stats 2. That stuff is pretty stochastic. Check out the book Matching Supply with demand by Cachon, Terwiesch to give you an idea of MBA level Ops and the math involved.</p>
<p>Sorry, I suck when it comes to typos and sometimes am careless with spell check. Its Multi...just calc 3. You can get a tutorial from a book store and teach yourself, it will just save you from having to do it in grad school.</p>
<p>no, i doubt its a prereq. You just may have to do some self study on your own. Just do well in calc 1 and 2 and don't worry about it. You can call a school you're thinking about applying to and ask them what the prereq's and recommended classes are. that would be your best source.</p>
