There are 6 modules in this course

The series of courses consists of three parts, we focus on deterministic optimization techniques, which is a major part of the field of OR. As the second part of the series, we study some efficient algorithms for solving linear programs, integer programs, and nonlinear programs. We also introduce the basic computer implementation of solving different programs, integer programs, and nonlinear programs and thus an example of algorithm application will be discussed.

The Simplex Method

The Branch-and-Bound Algorithm

Gradient Descent and Newton’s Method

Design and Evaluation of Heuristic Algorithms
