2005 ORSP Operations Research Competition

[Attila]

News from alikishi:

I would like to announce that the Ateneo team composed of:

Marco Co, 4 BS ME
Timothy Teng, 4 BS ME
Kimberly Diane Tan, 3 BS ME
Maddie Chan, 3 BS ME
Abigail Bendicion, 3 BS ME

won the 2005 ORSP OR Quiz Contest held in the Abelardo Hall, March 5, 2005.

[urs2pid]

So far the Ateneo has won 9 times; UP has won 5 times and DLSU has won once.

Congrats to all the winners!

Congrats to ATENEO for winning this contest for the 9th time! Galing talaga sa math ng mga Atenista!

[MacTurd]

^ ^ ^Whatttttttt! The Ateneo wins another academic competition again?

Be careful with your announcements. You're inviting more bashing from some very insecure individuals here in PEx. We already know the Ateneo usually wins most of these academic competitions because Ateneans are the best and brightest. But let us not publicize our triumphs too much. It makes the insecure people more jealous of our achievements and incites more bashing.

Anyway, CONGRATS TO ATENEO for dominating again! No wonder the Ateneo is widely acknowledged as the "Harvard of the Philippines."

Keep up the good work! *okay*

Ateneo: The Pride of the Philippines

Congratulations!

How did the other schools fare? Who participated aside from UP and DLSU? Did MAPUA and UST join? Who placed 2nd and 3rd?

[alikishi]

the participating schools are: Ateneo, La Salle, UP Diliman, UP Los Banos, Letran, UST and Mapua

Ateneo wins with 100 points, Lasalle comes in 2nd with 70 points and UPD comes in third with 40 points. The rest didn't have any points at all.

Congratulations to the Ateneo Team!

[alikishi]

im not sure though if this is the ninth or tenth win of ateneo out of the 15 years the OR quiz was held.

[Ultra_MegaStar]

Congrats to Ateneo!!!

Truly the best -- in debating, computer science, computer programming, marketing, advertising, corporate strategy, business, law, mathematics, statistics, operations research ......... and soon, with the establishment of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health, the best in medicine and the life sciences.

Congrats to Ateneo for being no. 1 (as usual), DLSU for its 2nd place, and UP for its 3rd place.

Ang saya talaga pag #1. :spinstar:

[Lek-Lek]

Uy! Galing ah!

Congrats, alikishi! :)

[MacTurd]

Ang galing ng Ateneo!!! Congrats again for winning again and again and again.
Congrats also to La Salle for placing 2nd and UP for placing 3rd. Parang same order ng ranking of the Philippine universities ah.

Ang saya talaga!

Ateneo - The Pride of the Philippines

[vicaimmonen]

Congrats to Ateneo for winning again the ORSP competition. Ateneo usually wins this contest year-in, year-out. La Salle is always lingering on the 2nd or 3rd positions during my time and I would like to congratulate my alma mater as well for placing 2nd.

[teardrop43]

as an IE student from UP Dil, I rili believe Ateneo ME has the best OR program.... Sa amin we have this ading/in considerate/ di marunong magturo/ talking book na teacher ng OR kaya hindi maganda ang OR program namin... But kapag IE Quiz show in general... UP ang da best!

anyweis, congrats to the ATENEO! and syempre sa LA SALLE and UP na rin!

peace out!

[mac_bolan00]

there's no OR program being offered in UP. most of it is taught in BS statistics.

are stat majors allowed to join?

[teardrop43]

What i mean when i said OR program is OR subjects bein offered. There are also OR subjects bein offered in UP IE. Actually, the OR subjects (IE 141, IE 142, and IE 183) are the hardest subjects in the UP IE program...

in relation to this, QMT 127, QMT 128 and QMT 129 are among the hardest in the AdMU ME program

[mr. yotsuya]

what's the operation research competition? i'm not familiar with it. sorry. =P

[HARE]

Me too, it was my 1st time to hear about it

Actually, the OR subjects (IE 141, IE 142, and IE 183) are the hardest subjects in the UP IE program...Operations Research I think is the hardest of all the subjects being thought in IE. It is also nice to hear that it is also the hardest subject thought in Ateneo's ME program hehe. Lang hiya yang subject na yan Diyos ko po pero it's worth squeezing your brain cells out solving an optimization problem using the simpelx or revised simplex methods hehe.

To those who are interested, re: what is Operations Research (OR), I got this info from the website of MIT:

Operations research has a long tradition at MIT . In fact, MIT is widely acknowledged as an academic birthplace of operations research in the United States. In 1953, Philip M. Morse, a noted physicist, founded the Center and served as its first director; a year earlier he founded the Operations Research Society of America ( ORSA ) and served as the Society's first president.

Operations research (OR) is the professional discipline that deals with the application of scientific methods to decision making. OR draws upon ideas from engineering, management, mathematics and psychology to contribute to a wide variety of application domains; the field is closely associated with several other fields in the "decision sciences" -- applied mathematics, computer science, economics, statistics, industrial engineering, financial engineering and systems engineering.

Operations research is distinguished by its broad applicability and by the wide variety of career opportunities and work styles it embraces. OR specialists may be theoreticians or practitioners; they may work in academia, in industry or in public service, teaching, conducting research, or consulting by developing and applying OR methods.

[alikishi]

nagmamagaling ka nanaman lek-lek ah :crazytongue: :evil_lol:

[KuyaDanny]

Also for a more balanced perspective, anyone interested in OR should read up on the life and times of Robert S McNamara (former HBS professor, president of the Ford Motor Company, US Secretary of Defense, and president of the World Bank), who is probably OR's most famous believer and practitioner. McNamara used OR techniques to solve a lot of problems, including production inefficiency and weapons procurement, but realized those techniques couldn't do everything, such as win a war or eliminate poverty.

[atenean_blooded]

Wait. Wasn't some form of OR (since it wasn't really called OR at the time) responsible for helping the Allies win WWII?

At least, that's what Hillier and Lieberman say in their book.

[alikishi]

Operations Research is basically the Research of (Military) Operations during the WWII

The founder of the Management Engineering program in the Ateneo was Fr. William Campbell, an MIT graduate. He patterned the ME program after MIT's management science program. Fr. Campbell passed away two months ago in Italy. (May he rest in peace.)

The first program director of the Mgt. Eng. program was Dr. William Torres, a PhD graduate of computer science from MIT, whose doctoral thesis focused on innovative networking models applied to electrical/electronics engineering. Dr. Torres is recognized as the "Father of the Internet" in the Philippines.

Now we all know why the Ateneo is called the "Harvard and MIT of the Philippines."

Ateneo: The Pride of the Philippines
:rpflag:

[Ultra_MegaStar]

^ ^ ^ That explains why the Ateneo dominates Operations Research in the Philippines.

Congratulations to the top 3 finishers:

1st place: ATENEO :spinstar:
2ne place: DLSU
3rd place: UP

Wow! Parang ranking according to academic excellence ha. :naughty2:

[teardrop43]

grabe nmn... pinuri na nga yung school nia for performing very well sa OR ng generalized na nmn... While its a known fact that Ateneo ME dominates the OR Competition, they are no where to be found sa IE Quiz show... UP IE dominates this... (I think DLSU won 2 years ago bout most of the time its bin UP IE)...

sori ha pro just cnt take na Ateneo or DLSU is better than UP in terms of Acad Excellence.... ***** paramihan ng mga magaganda talo tlaga UP sa Ateneo at DLSU! peace!

[Dacs]

Let them be. Dyan sila masaya eh. Sino niloko nila in the 1st place? :rolleyes:

BS Statistics majors ng UP ang mga representatives and they haven’t underwent a training before the competition kasi finals nila the week after. Ang representatives ng UP ay nanggaling sa isang student organization ng School of Statistics at katuwaan lang ang pagsali.

At kung napansi nyo, recycled ang contestants ng de Ateneo. These same set of students will also represent their school - de Ateneo - in other pacontest. Ginagawa nilang negosyo ang pagsali sa mga pacontest. They believe their school will be ranked number one in the Philippines based on the number of wins they get in mga pacontest.

and mind you, hanggang baranggay level yan. :glee:

[Stirling]

e.......di.......ang sarili nila! :lol:

[Ultra_MegaStar]

Excuses, excuses, excuses..... Lies, lies, lies......

It must be painful indeed to lose again and again and again to the Ateneo. :bigcry:

ORSP OR competitions: Let's review the facts and the track record.

Ateneo: 10 first place finishes
UP: 5 first place finishes
DLSU: 1 first place finishes

2005 OR competition:

#1 Ateneo
#2 DLSU
#3 UP

Whine as much as you want. However, no one can dispute the facts. Ateneo is no. 1.

No wonder Ateneo is widely acknowledged as the "Harvard and MIT of the Philippines."

Congrats again to Ateneo. :spinstar:

that is because the Management Engineering students do not have Industrial Engineering subjects so there is no use joining the competition

how sure are you that the students they field to the contest are statistics majors? As far as I know, they are Industrial Engineering students.

ayusin ko lang yung facts...

[Stirling]

how sure are you that the students they field to the contest are statistics majors? As far as I know, they are Industrial Engineering students.
only 2 of the 5 contestants are IE majors and both are 4th year students who were more busy preparing for their finals than the pacontest. the other 3 are from the school of statistics who were also more busy preparaing for their finals exams than the said pacontest.

Let me be frank with you. results of this contest won't change the fact that UP is way superior to ateneo. period.

[alikishi]

finals? how sure are you na nasa finals na sila? I talked to one of the people from the UP team and they were surprised to know that we were on our finals week already (the juniors). Sabi nga nila: "Kami nga hindi pa namin iniisip ang finals eh".

nandun ka ba sa contest?

I don't deny that UP students are good. Even my batchmate (who was number 1 during my high school time) went to UP. Pero claiming that UP is way superior to ateneo? I doubt it. May kanya kanyang galing lang yan.

tama na ang palusot mo. lumalabas lang ang katotohanang sinungaling ka hahaha

****-na, sinungaling ka rin! :splat:

mods, ban mo nga itong ga.gong ito! ang yabang, nanginginsulto ng member.

[alikishi]

hahahaha yan lang masagot niyo? :bigyawn:

[mr. yotsuya]

Lang hiya yang subject na yan Diyos ko po pero it's worth squeezing your brain cells out solving an optimization problem using the simpelx or revised simplex methods hehe.

simplex methods eh? interesting subject pala yan a. sounds like it could be applied to pinch technology (optimization of refinery energy balance) as well. i'll remember this topic since i might learn something from it later on. tnx.

[blueSUCKS!]

hahahaha yan lang masagot niyo? :bigyawn:
anong klasing titser ka? do you even feel proud for insulting someone. gosh... ikinahihiya kitang titser ng ateneo! sumbong kita kay daddy loyola. :splat:

[chineseMALAY]

hahahaha yan lang masagot niyo? :bigyawn:
If this so-called "titser" happens to have his post in a UK university, he would have been expelled instantly from the university for his downright condescending rhetoric. Good for him his association is with an unknown institution.

[Stirling]

I don't deny that UP students are good. Even my batchmate (who was number 1 during my high school time) went to UP.
yea, like this is new to us.


Pero claiming that UP is way superior to ateneo? I doubt it. May kanya kanyang galing lang yan.
so, yung vale ninyo, nung nag-UP na, hindi na number one? hindi na gumaling? :naughty:


tama na ang palusot mo. lumalabas lang ang katotohanang sinungaling ka hahaha
siguro ginaganito mo mga students mo sa ateneo kaya naprapraning na sila, ano?

[ROYALblood04]

lol nakakatawa kayo

[Stirling]

^ pero titser sya kaya, hindi dapat gawing biro ang panginginsulto ng tao. that kind of attitude could be easily picked by his students, lalo na napaka sheltered pa naman daw sa skul kung saan sya nagtuturo.

[ROYALblood04]

sinong may sabing teacher siya?

[Stirling]

^ sya mismo!

[Ultra_MegaStar]

:lol: Ang daming PIKON na alternicks of the same person. :lol:


BACK TO THE TOPIC


Ang saya-saya talaga when you're #1.

Congrats to the Ateneo for winning again and again and again.

To reiterate. Let's stick to the facts, not hearsay and fabricated excuses of the losers.

Fifteen (15) Annual ORSP OR Competition Track Record:

ATENEO: 9 first place finishes
UP: 5 first place finishes
DLSU: 1 first place finish

2005 ORSP OR Competition:

1st place: ATENEO
2nd place: DLSU
3rd place: UP

Parang same order ng ranking according to academic excellence.

Galing talaga ng Ateneo. The best and brightest students.

No wonder, the Ateneo is widely acknowledged as the "Harvard and MIT of the Philippines."

To the losers, just try to be gracious in defeat. After all, you lost to the best school in the Philippines. That should motivate you to study and work harder next time.

Basta, ang saya talaga when you're #1. :spinstar:
