Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

    In this course we will use the leading industrial modeling system GAMS for most of the exercises. It is important to get some hands-on experience.

    In addition to the lecture material, there are lots of tutorials available at their webpage.
