To graduate from Pace University with a major in operations research (OR), a student must complete at least two math courses, at least two OR

To graduate from Pace University with a major in operations research (OR), a student must complete at least two math courses, at least two OR courses, and at least two computer courses.

Some courses can be used to fulfill more than one requirement:

- Calculus can fulfill the math requirement

- Operations Research can fulfill the math and OR requirements

- Data Structures can fulfill the computer and math requirements

- Business Statistics can fulfill the math and OR requirements

- Computer Simulation can fulfill the OR and computer requirements

- Introduction to Computer Programming can fulfill the computer requirement

- Forecasting can fulfill the OR and math requirements.

Complete this template (show all formulas) and use Solver to minimize the number of courses needed to satisfy the major requirements (there could be multiple optimal solutions). Please also paste any Solver window used as well - thanks!

I will also attach a screenshot of the excel template for convenience and to help replicate.

Inputs (requirements)	Calculus	OR	Data Structure	Bus Stats	Simulation	Intro Comp Prog	Forecasting
OR	0	1	0	1	1	0	1
Math	1	1	1	1	0	0	1
Computer	0	0	1	0	1	1	0

Constraints: number of courses
Needs to be filled in		Needs to be filled in
Needs to be filled in		Needs to be filled in
Needs to be filled in		Needs to be filled in

Decision Variables (binary)
Courses Taken	Needs to be filled in	Needs to be filled in	Needs to be filled in	Needs to be filled in	Needs to be filled in	Needs to be filled in

Objective = Minimize Output
# courses taken (Solution)	Needs to be filled in

Objective = Minimize Output \# courses taken To graduate from Pace University with a major in operations research (OR), a student must complete at least two math courses, at least two OR courses, and at least two computer courses. Some courses can be used to fulfill more than one requirement: Calculus can fulfill the math requirement; Operations Research can fulfill the math and OR requirements; Data Structures can fulfill the computer and math requirements; Business Statistics can fulfill the math and OR requirements; Computer Simulation can fulfill the OR and computer requirements; Introduction to Computer Programming can fulfill the computer requirement; and Forecasting can fulfill the OR and math requirements.
