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: understand the basic principles of nonlinear optimization problems. use some of the commonly used algorithms for nonlinear optimization (unconstrained and constrained). select the appropriate algorithm for a particular optimization problem.
General Competences	Working independently Decision-making Adapting to new situations Production of free, creative and inductive thinking Synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
