Course Aims

This course introduces students to algorithms and techniques for optimization and nonlinear programming problems. Students will learn important numerical optimization methods such as the gradient descent, the Newton’s method, the quasi-Newton’s methods for unconstrained optimization, and the methods for constrained optimization. The classic methods for machine learning such as the stochastic gradient descent and its acceleration techniques, will be covered as well.
