MAT-2202 Optimization Models - 10 ECTS
Course content
The main objective of this course is to learn to model problems in business, finance and the natural sciences as maximum or minimum problems, and to solve them numerically. Methods for solving linear programming problems, unconstrained nonlinear problems and problems in calculus of variations will be described. The elementary theory of linear programming including duality will be covered. The numerical coursework will be based on Mathlab.Objectives of the course
After the course the student shall:- obtain solid understanding of linear programming models, the elementary part of their theory and a description of the main methods for solving them
- obtain knowledge of some other types of (non-linear) optimization models, and methods used to solve them
- be able to model problems in business, economics and the natural sciences as maximum or minimum problems
- be able to develop optimization models and solve them on a computer
