Description
Summary:A known barrier to the adoption of mathematical methods in decision-making in everyday problems is the lack of basic knowledge of the applicable methods, as well as of adequate tools for resolution, without the requirement of deepening in specific disciplines. In this context, this work proposes an interactive tool developed in the Python language that enables the resolution of decision-making problems using the AHP-Gaussian method, from an online environment of free access. A hypothetical problem is solved with the tool, demonstrating its operation and the results obtained. The solution to a problem from the literature was also reproduced, demonstrating its applicability to real and complex problems. The tool proved to be a viable alternative to enable the access of people with little computational and mathematical instruction to a promising method that has been achieving good results in applications of the most different areas of knowledge.
