Prereq: 18.C06 or permission of instructor
Units: 4-0-8
Lecture: MW1-2.30 (E62-233) or MW4-5.30 (E62-262) or TR8.30-10 (E62-276) or TR2.30-4 (E25-111) Recitation: F10 (E51-335) or F1 (45-230) or F2 (45-230)

Introduction to the methods and applications of optimization. Topics include linear optimization, duality, non-linear optimization, integer optimization, and optimization under uncertainty. Instruction provided in modeling techniques to address problems arising in practice, mathematical theory to understand the structure of optimization problems, computational algorithms to solve complex optimization problems, and practical applications. Covers several examples and in-depth case studies based on real-world data to showcase impactful applications of optimization across management and engineering. Computational exercises based on the Julia-based programming language JuMP. Includes a term project. Basic competency in computational programming and linear algebra recommended. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
