  Module 2:

  Below is a set of articles that describe how optimisation methods have been applied in real-life situations. Reading these will help understand the potential of the techniques and the practicality and biggest challenges in applying them. Reading one or two will already give most benefits and you can choose the ones that sound more interesting to you. However, the first one is perhaps to most straight forward and is thus recommended as a starting point. When reading for this course, it will be much more useful to focus on the general ideas than trying to remember details.
