In "Introduction to Optimization Model" (UV4308), we learned the basics of optimization models, or mathematical programming. This technical note, we turn our attention to the basic mathematics of optimization. Although not essential, a deeper understanding of mathematics can help you become much more effective and efficient user optimization models. It is well worth the investment if you intend to use optimization on a regular basis. Among other things, a better understanding of mathematics can use the more advanced options that are generally available in most packages optimization software. ( These options allow you to, for example, to solve large models faster than they could be.) "Hide
