Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is an organization that helps people use math and science to make better decisions. INFORMS helps people in businesses, governments, universities, and other organizations use mathematical models, quantitative analysis, and data to make logical decisions and solve real-world problems. For example, people at INFORMS might help a business decide where to open new stores or help a government decide how to fix a traffic problem. INFORMS uses a lot of numbers and math to help people make better decisions.
