Annotation -
The course is oriented on ability of formulation of optimization problem based on mathematical model of a process. Methods of classical analysis for unconstained and constrained extrema are discussed. Basic methods of linear, nonlinear and dynamic programming are introduced. Vector optimization problems are discussed. Methods are demonstrated on selected engineering problems.
