Previous knowledge of multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary and partial differential equations is required
This course pretends to be a first contact to the field of optimization through mathamatical programming, calculus of variations and optimal control. It will be of great help not only for students with mathematical background but also for physicians and engineers interested in modeling some problems as optimization ones.
