DESCRIPTION
This is an introductory course in deterministic optimization. The optimization models studied are unconstrained non-linear optimization, constrained non-linear optimization, convex optimization, linear optimization and integer linear optimization. Solution techniques for these classes of optimization problems are the central theme of this course. Another important element of the course is the mathematical formulation of (practical) verbally described problems as instances of the optimization models, and application of the solution methods to solve the resulting problems.
Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
