Mathematical Optimisation Specialisation

The Mathematical Optimisation Specialisation is designed to provide students with the necessary skills in mathematics and the ability to apply them to problems stemming from mathematical modelling and optimisation. The Specialisation first develops a student's competency in the use of differential equations and multivariate calculus then builds upon this knowledge of calculus as well as linear algebra into areas of transportation, project planning and management, network modelling and optimisation, constrained and unconstrained optimisation, dynamic programming, queuing and simulation modelling, and numerical optimisation. Graduates are well-equipped with the tools required to model and solve real world problems.
