Nonlinear Optimization

About this programme

No fees are charged for EU and EEA citizens, Swedish residence permit holders and exchange students. This basic course in optimization treats the most relevant mathematical principles that we use in analysing and solving continuous optimization problems. The main theoretical goal is that you will learn parts of the theory of optimality, duality, and convexity, and the connections between them. Using this, you will be able to analyze many kinds of optimization problems, classify them, and give guidelines for how to tackle them in practice. This is the more practical goal in an otherwise more theoretical course. Knowledge equivalent to 60 credits in mathematics, including the courses MMG200 Mathematics 1 and MMG300 Multivariable Analysis. All eligible applicants who have applied before the deadline will be granted a place. Mathematical Sciences is a joint department of Chalmers/University of Gothenburg. Your education takes place in the spacious and bright premises of Mathematical Sciences at the Chalmers campus Johanneberg, where there are lecture halls, computer rooms and group rooms. Here you can also find student lunch room and reading room, as well as student counsellors and student office.
