The aim of the course is to introduce students to optimization methods and their use in operations research. Students will be introduced to the formulation of a range of real-world problems leading to linear, integer or non-linear programming - e.g. problems in process scheduling, transportation and logistics, production management, efficiency evaluation (DEA), classification and data mining, portfolio management, statistical data processing and other areas. They will learn the basic methods of solving optimization problems formulated in this way, both exact and heuristic methods. They will also gain an overview of available optimization solvers.
