Teaching & PhD PhD Students Andreea-Alexandra Musat Past EPFL PhD Students Christopher Criscitiello, Quentin Rebjock Courses Continuous optimization MATH-329 This course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorithms to solve constrained and unconstrained problems. Linear Algebra MATH-111(e) The purpose of the course is to introduce the basic notions of linear algebra and its applications. Topics in continuous optimization MATH-746 Students study advanced modern topics and techniques in continuous optimization, give lectures on them, and discuss potential research avenues that emanate from them. For transferable skills, the course design actively aims to help the students improve their technical presentation skills.
