MATH 383 - Optimization Methods

Semester Offered: Fall or Spring
1 unit(s)

This course focuses on optimization problems — methods for minimizing and maximizing functions. Topics might include linear, nonlinear, and/or integer programming. We focus on the formulation of optimization problems, characterizing minima and maxima, and numerical methods for computing them. As we cover these topics, we also consider applications of optimization in a variety of areas.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 220 and MATH 221.
