Case studies of optimisation problems in industry
- Unit Coordinator: Lluis Alseda Soler, Martin Hernan Campos Heredia, Judit Chamorro Servent, Susana Serna
- Programme: Erasmus Mundus
- ECTS Credits: 6
- Semester: 1
- Year: 2
- Campus: Autonomous University of Barcelona
- Language: English
- Aims:
Analysis of case studies, and practice of team working dynamics and client-consultant relationship.
The cases will focus primarily on optimisation and logistics real problems, but may have a scope beyond the pure "decision making" setting.
The course will be organised and directed by a professor of the department of Mathematics and will include minicourses and presentations given by industrial collaborators and other departments' teaching staff.
- Content:
Mathematical modelling, i.e. solving real-world problems by means of mathematics.
- Pre-requisites:
Students must have mathematical and computational skills at the level of a science degree.
