Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes The course aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of non-linear optimization. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
  1. understand the basic principles of nonlinear optimization problems.
  2. use some of the commonly used algorithms for nonlinear optimization (unconstrained and constrained).
  3. select the appropriate algorithm for a particular optimization problem.
General Competences
  1. Working independently
  2. Decision-making
  3. Adapting to new situations
  4. Production of free, creative and inductive thinking
  5. Synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
