Assignment scheduling - Kate Ponto

Every semester the math department has to assign about 60 TAs to teaching assignments.  There are many different obligations that limit which classes TAs can be assigned to: inexperienced TAs teach a more limited number of classes than more experienced TAs, TAs want to attend different seminars and so they can't teach at the time.


This kind of problem also arises in many other situations.  For example - you might need to assign students to schools.  There are algorithms that can make this assignment - in this semester we will think about the constraints that our department's scheduling problem has and work on making one of the available algorithms work for us.
