Operations research is a mathematical discipline that considers how to make appropriate and better decisions in complex decision-making problems. 

It deals with how best to design, operate and/or predict the behaviour of complex systems like people, machinery, materials and money in the industry, business, finance, education, government and defence.

Mathematics graduates play integral roles in the workplace, developing mathematical models and numerical algorithms to answer what-if scenarios and designing experiments to help guide research and improve processes.
