Description
This course will consist of a portion of the "Mastering Operaotr Math" course presented under the sponsorship of The ProActive Operator Source. When it comes to operator mathematics, operators often take improper short cuts or end up guessing/ estimating mathematical parameters that are critical for the optimization of technical processes. This class teaches the fundamentals of operator math while stressing the need for "quantifying" processes with the ultimate goal of process optimization.
