Courses
Advanced analysis I - real analysis
MATH-100(a)
Study of the fundamental concepts of analysis, differential and integral calculus
Continuous optimization
MATH-329
This course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained problems.
Optimization on manifolds
MATH-512
We develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational concerns). We also discuss several applications
