| Goals |
1. The student will learn to model optimization problems as (integer) linear programs. These problems can come from various domains, such as business, mathematics, or logic puzzles.
2. The student will learn how to implement and solve (integer) linear programming models using state-of-the-art software. 3. The student will learn how to summarize and interpret the results of their implementation in a report. |

| Description |
Students will develop practical skills in modeling and solving optimization problems using (integer) linear programming (ILP). The course focuses on translating real-world problems from business, economics, and operations into mathematical models, and implementing these models in Python using the Gurobi optimization solver.
By the end of the course, students will be able to formulate optimization problems as linear or integer programs, implement them in Python using Gurobi, and interpret and communicate the results effectively. These skills are widely applicable in data science, operations management, finance, and academic research. |
