Course objectives
The course aims to deepen the knowledge of mathematical tools needed to solve the economic problems and to familiarize students with common types of optimization problems and show some basic methods for their solution (especially the simplex method for linear optimization).
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- identify and formulate specific optimization problems that occur in economics, project management, production management, quality management, etc.
- Apply the algorithms used to solve these optimization problems
- Explain the solution procedure
- solving practical problems using software ( MS Excel, optionally Maple, Matlab and its Optimization toolbox).
Syllabus
  • Linear programming
  • Integer and goal programming
  • Applications: distribution problem, matching problem, etc.
  • Optimization in graphs
  • Multicriteria decision analysis
  • Data envelopment analysis
  • Essentials of nonlinear programming

Teaching methods
Theoretical training includes lectures, practical exercises using computer
Assessment methods
The course is ended by an examination. The prerequisite of successful completion of the course is active participation in seminars. The rating is determined by point gain from the final test. Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams (credit tests) will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam (credit test) by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
