MATH-225 Optimization
Spring only
Optimization problems are of interest in all applied sciences. An optimal solution describes the best way to do things, the most efficient manner, or the most economical process. Certain optimization problems, such as finding extreme values (maxima and minima) of continuous functions, are already discussed in calculus. Of particular interest are extreme value problems with constraints. Various types of constraints can be considered. Constraints can be given by additional equations, inequalities, and also by differential equations. According to the type of the constraint, different techniques of solving the optimization problem are to be developed. These include linear programming, nonlinear programming, approximation techniques, variational problems and optimal control.
