Learning outcomes
This course provides an introduction to basic optimization techniques. We emphasise linear programming, including integer programming and selected methods for solving nonlinear problems. An integral part of the course is solving practical problems using appropriate software.

Prerequisites
Teaching in English is meant only for erasmus and foreign students. In the case of a small number of students is teaching in a form of individual consultations.
