The  [course_title] course combines optimisation theory and computation and teaches how you can use these two areas together for modern data analytics, economics, and engineering.

The course is split into four sections:

Firstly, the key concepts in linear algebra, calculus, and optimisation will be presented to you.

Secondly, you will be introduced with techniques of linear optimisation including basic polyhedral theory, simplex method, and duality theory.

Thirdly, the course focuses on convex conic optimisation while the last part deals with integer optimisation.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.

Certification

Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of the assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certificate at a cost of £49.

Having an Official Edukite Certification is a great way to celebrate and share your success. You can:
