(back to the course homepage)

Seminars (start the week 4):

Problem solving classes:

Wednesday	10:15	MH:309A	Andrey Ghulchak, Carmen Arévalo
Wednesday	15:15	MH:309A	Alexandros Sopasakis, Tomas Carnstam

Computer exercises:
There will be two compulsory labs - the third and the fifth weeks. An application list will appear one week before the lab at the Matematik LTH announcement board on the ground floor of the Math-building to the right. Make sure that you have a proper login and password. You should read the instructions before the lab and complete the preparation exercises. Failure to do so may result in your not being allowed to participate in the lab on that occasion. 

Mini-Project:
Instructions for the assignment will be available around the week 4. Please note that the last day to get your report approved is January 31. This means that you have to hand it in earlier to be able to make necessary corrections.

Written examination:
Preliminary is planed on December 17 (re-exam after Easter 2013).

Literature:
Lars-Christer Böiers Mathematical Methods of Optimization, Lund 2010 (Studentliteratur), Ch. 1-9 + Appendix A except sections 3.7 and 7.5.

If you are not familiar with Matlab, which will be used in the labs as well as in the mini-project, there are tutorials available online.
