It is structured according to the basic topics of problem modelling, its tractability, and its solution by means of algorithms that can be implemented on computers. The Course introduces to optimization models and methods for the solution of decision problems. It is structured according to the basic topics of problem modeling , tractability, and solution by means of algorithms that can be implemented on computers. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The Course enables the students to acquire the skills needed to face, by means of mathematical models and methods, decision and optimization problems in the presence of limited resources. The students will learn to: interpreting and modelling in mathematical terms a decision process, by identifying objective, variables, and constraints; framing the problem in the context of “canonical” models (linear/nonlinear, discrete/continuous, deterministic/stochastic, static/dynamic, etc.), whose properties are known; identifying a solving algorithm and "matching" it with a suitable software tool.
