    Course Objectives The course objectives are to provide the central ideas behind algorithms for the numerical solution of differentiable optimization problems by presenting key methods for both unconstrained and constrained optimization and providing theoretical justification as to why they succeed. Additionally, it is aimed to teach the computational tools available to solve optimization problems on computers once a mathematical formulation has been found.
