On May 12 (after the final lecture on Shortest paths) we will have a guest lecture by Solveig Bruvoll. Solveig has a PhD in applied mathematics from UiO, and is now a researcher at FFI. She works on interesting optimization problems in applications. She will give a presentation of possible projects at FFI (Master thesis and other projects). For possible Master thesis, you may contact Solveig at solveig.bruvoll@ffi.no (or see www.ffi.no).
Thanks for giving useful (and positive) feedback on the course. Two direct consequences: (i) All previous exams + solutions are now on the webpage, (ii) In class, Torkel will find a balance between difficult and not-so-difficult exercises. Finally, some data for comp.project 2 were missing, and these files are now next to the project link. Good luck!
We would like to have comments from you concerning the course, as a part of midway evaluation in our courses. You can do it anonymous by putting a paper at Geir's door (B1029) or postbox (7.th floor); otherwise just send an email. Any comments are welcome, concerning (a) course material, webpage, level, amount of work, (b) Lectures, (c) Class.
Lately, quite few of you have participated in class, and also fewer are at the lectures. We would very much like to know more about this, so please help us here. Thanks in advance!
Due to projects in other courses, the deadline has been changed to April 10.
The class on Thursday March 6 is postponed to Wednesday March 12 at 10.15-12 (Seminarrom B1036).
... has now been posted; it is mostly on algorithms. Deadline: March 27. Good luck!
A new small note on Lagrange duality has been added, and is a part of the syllabus.
The first compulsory project is now available, see the left side of the main page (Oblig1_2014).
Some new files are added at Useful_resources: (i) opl-cplex introduction, and (ii) extra exercises in the course.
Concerning the Vanderbei book: The 4.ed. and the 3.ed. are almost identical (for our purposes), and the exercise numbers are the same.
