MA 421 - Mathematical Optimization, Applications and Analysis

Institution:

The University of Montana

Subject:

Description:

This course is a project-based exploration of topics in optimization and mathematical programming, such as linear, integer, nonlinear, and stochastic programming. We explore the modeling, algorithmic and heuristic solution approaches to, and sensitivity analysis of problems such as the Knapsack problem, Traveling Salesman problem, and the Ising spin glass problem. Computers and technology will again play an important role as we investigate both the implementation and the theoretical basis of solution techniques. This course will bring together topics from single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and probability. Prerequisite: Grades of C or better in MA 334 and in MA 336. Fall semester.
