Winter 2010         MW 10:05 - 11:25    Place: McConnell 320   

Instructor: Prof. David Avis

Description: 3 credits; 3 hours; Formulation, solution and applications of integer programs. Branch and bound, cutting plane, and column generation algorithms. Combinatorial optimization. Stochastic Optimization. A large emphasis will be placed on modelling. Students will select and present a case study of an application of integer programming in an area of their choice.

Prerequisites: COMP566 or MATH 417/487 or COMP/MATH 551 or a course in linear algebra and a good knowledge of linear programming (confirm with me please!)

Notes:   Math 417/487 Mathematical Programming  is given in September 2009
