Velkommen til INF-MAT3370 Lineær optimering våren 2009! (Welcome: the lectures are in English if there are foreign exchange-students asking for it!) Here you will learn about linear optimization (also called linear programming, LP) and the simplex algorithm; this is perhaps the most used algorithm in the world! LP is very useful in many areas, for instance in mathematical (and computational) finance, transportation analysis/planning, scheduling etc. You will also gain insight into applications and the theory of polyhedra (geometrical objects, examples include triangles, pyramids, cubes ...). If you like linear algebra and matrices, there is a good chance that you'll like this course as well! NOTE: first week there are lectures both Monday 25. and Wednesday 27., each time 12.15-14 in room B1036.
