SUMMARY OF THE COURSE

This course reviews the basics of practical Linear Algebra and introduces the student to the topic of optimization models and convex optimization. The first part, Linear Algebra, covers the general notions of this area required as a basis for the second part; this is, from basic operations up to solving linear equations, least-squares methods, among others. The second part of the course is devoted to the introduction of convex optimization, providing the student with the mathematical machinery required for solving everyday engineering problems, such as machine learning, statistics, decision-making and control systems.
