An introduction to mainly discrete optimisation is given. The lecture is centered around the theory of linear programming.
Aim of the course - Czech
Last update: LOEBL/MFF.CUNI.CZ (09.11.2010)

Cílem přednášky je, aby se studenti seznámili se základními metodami diskrétní optimalizace a naučili se v optimalizaci orientovat tak, aby byli schopni sami rozpoznat nové trendy.

Hans Raj Tiwary:

Students need to pass 50% of the homeworks and 50% of the quizzes to pass the tutorial. Due to the requirements, additional attempts to pass the tutorial are excluded.

Passing the tutorials is required before taking the exam.
