Courses

Convex optimization

MGT-418

This course introduces the theory and application of modern convex optimization from an engineering perspective.

Optimal decision making

MGT-483

This course introduces the theory and applications of optimization. We develop tools and concepts of optimization and decision analysis that enable managers in manufacturing, service operations, marketing, transportation and finance to transform data into insights for making better decisions.
