This
course serves as an introduction to linear and discrete
optimization from the viewpoint of a mathematician or computer
scientist. Besides learning how linear and discrete optimization can be applied, we focus on
understanding methods that solve linear programs and discrete optimization problems in a mathematically
rigorous way.
We will answer questions like:
The course constitutes about half of the material on linear and discrete optimization that is taught for mathematics and computer science undergraduates at EPFL and will feature video lectures, quizzes, programming assignments, and a final exam.
We will answer questions like:
- Does a particular method work correctly?
- Does it terminate and, if yes, in what time?
- Can we prove that a solution is optimal?
