Purpose
Engineering systems and design problems can often be compactly
described analysed and manipulated using matrices and vectors.
Moreover, tractable solutions to design problems can be obtained by
casting the design problems as optimization problems. For the class
of linear and quadratic problems, the solutions can be obtained by
solving systems of equations. In computer programs, this is
achieved via matrix factorizations. For the larger class of convex
problems, no closed-form solution may exist and numerical methods
must be applied. This course aims at teaching numerically robust
methods for solving systems of equations and, more generally,
convex optimization problems, including also standard constrained
problems.
The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine skills and reflection:
Since it is a 5 ECTS course module, the work load is expected to be 150 hours for the student
