Linear and Integer Optimization with Applications

About this programme

No fees are charged for EU and EEA citizens, Swedish residence permit holders and exchange students. In this basic course in optimization you will use case studies, presented by researchers in different areas at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg, to learn tools for practical modeling and solving optimization problems. You will learn the principles of mathematical modeling and how the properties of optimization models can be used in practical problem solving. You will model concrete optimization problems by yourself and analyze your model, choose an algorithm, implement it in software, and analyze your solutions. Knowledge equivalent to the courses MMG200 Mathematics 1 and MMG300 Multivariable Analysis. We also recommend knowledge equivalent to MVG300 Programming with Matlab. 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.
