In "Introduction to Optimization Models" (UV4308), we investigated the basics of using optimization models, or mathematical programming. In this technical note, we turn our focus to the math underlying optimization. While not essential, a more profound comprehension of the math is able to help you become a significantly more efficient and efficient user of optimization models.
Among other things, a more profound understanding of the mathematics allows you to use the more advanced options that are typically available in optimization software packages. (These alternatives enable you, for instance, to solve large models more quickly than you otherwise might.)
