Applied Mathematics: Optimization and Network ModelsLaajuus (3 cr)

Objective

The student knows the basic mathematical concepts related to networks as well as knows and understands the network algorithms presented in the course (See Course Contents) that enable to find the exact optimal solution. The student is able to form out of an optimization problem a linear model with solutions. The student understands the general principle of optimization and has acquainted themselves with some non-linear optimization problems.
