| Objective |
This course introduces several different types of mathematical models, which can be used to formulate real-life problems, and the softwares GAMS and MATLAB, which can be used to solve different types of problems including linear, non-linear, integer, etc. The aim is to introduce the logic of modeling, which can further be useful for academic studies and in industry. Hence, the objectives of the course are determined as follows: • Introduce how to build mathematical models of the real-life problems. • Enable students to use the softwares GAMS and MATLAB for programming and optimization. • Enable students to analyze and interpret the results of the optimization. |
