A self-contained course on the fundamentals of modern optimization with equal emphasis on theory, implementation, and application. We consider linear and nonlinear optimization problems, including network flow problems and game-theoretic models in which selfish agents compete for shared resources. We apply these models to a variety of real-world scenarios.
What you'll learn
understand and apply linear and nonlinear optimization techniques
analyze network flow problems
utilize game-theoretic models in resource allocation situations
Course objectives
provide a solid foundation in optimization theory
develop practical skills in implementing optimization solutions
explore applications of optimization in real-world scenarios
