This lecture introduces the concept of geodesic convexity on Riemannian manifolds, defining convex sets and geodesically convex sets. It explores the properties of geodesically convex functions and their relation to convexity.

We develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemann
