You should have basic knowledge of linear algebra, vector calculus and ordinary differential equations. Familiarity with numerical computing is helpful but not required; programming tasks will be kept basic and simple. You will write simple Python scripts in Jupyter notebooks. We will provide some basic Python tutorials.
Today, for almost every product on the market and almost every service offered, some form of optimization has played a role in their design.
However, optimization is not a button-press technology. To apply it successfully, one needs expertise in formulating the problem, selecting and tuning the solution algorithm and finally, checking the results. We have designed this course to make you such an expert.
This course is useful to students of all engineering fields. The mathematical and computational concepts that you will learn here have application in machine learning, operations research, signal and image processing, control, robotics and design to name a few.
We will start with the standard unconstrained problems, linear problems and general nonlinear constrained problems. We will then move to more specialized topics including mixed-integer problems; global optimization for non-convex problems; optimal control problems; machine learning for optimization and optimization under uncertainty. Students will learn to implement and solve optimization problems in Python through the practical exercises.
