CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    In this course, the student will learn the basic optimisation theory behind the main numerical algorithms available and how they can be applied to solve optimisation problems. At the end of the course, it is expected that the student will be capable of analysing the main characteristics of an optimisation problem and decide what is the most suitable method to be employed for its solution.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Homework and project assignments.

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Contact hours: 48h (12 x 2h lectures and 12 x 2h exercises). Attendance is not compulsory.

    Self study: 93h (5 home exercises - 5h each plus 2 project assignments - 10h each; remainder for revising content of lectures and exercise sessions)

DETAILS

Study Material
