Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce different application areas of continuous and discrete optimization techniques with a special focus on data analytics. During the course, foundational concepts in linear, integer, mixed-integer, and non-linear programming models will be applied aligned with fundamental machine learning and statistical modeling techniques to answer questions from engineering and social sciences.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Ability to understand the role of optimization in data analytics problems.
  • Ability to apply optimization techniques to different domains.
  • Ability to understand similarities and differences of data analytics tools.
  • Ability to use software for computing and visualization with a focus on data analytics applications.
  • Ability to research for a real case study and develop applicable solutions.
Course Content The concept of linear algebra, probability, linear programming, integer programming, mixed-integer programming, and non-linear programming applications in data analytics such as regression, classification, neural networks; introduction to Python programming and using different Python programming packages to solve data analytics problems.
