Computer Aided Applied Single Objective Optimization

By Prof. Prakash Kotecha | IIT Guwahati

Learners enrolled: 671

Optimization problems are frequently encountered in almost all disciplines of science and engineering. This course will familiarize the audience with both mathematical and computational intelligence algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The course is designed so as to enable the participants to quickly use state-of-the-art tools to solve optimization problems. A unique feature of this course will be discussion of a realistic case study to thoroughly understand various aspects of optimization.
