Useful Quantitative Models

These are all the tools I've learned in grad school that may be useful to my thesis.  My thesis is on  trying optimize the design and maintenance of individual infrastructure elements (such as road segments or substations) so that they are more resilient to hazards and the like.

Maybe I'll add references later.
