Optimization Modeling

In the process of modeling "real-life" situations, verification and validation of the model is inherently necessary to strengthen the prediction power of the model. This course will explore optimization and dynamical models, focusing on topics which may include: one variable and multivariable optimization, sensitivity analysis, steady state analysis, continuous time dynamical systems, stability analysis, and phase portraits. Students will utilize industry-standard software for simulations.
