Objectives
The objective of the course is to formalize Linear Programming problems, to introduce classical optimization problems and some resolution strategies. Develop capacities to apply the systemic approach to complex problems, formulate them, recognize the appropriate methodologies for their resolution and implement them. This introductory UC familiarizes students with concepts, models, and techniques that allow for efficient resource management, profit maximization, and / or cost minimization.

Evaluation Methodology
Written test (PE) in any of the assessment seasons and 2 projects (T1 and T2). The final mark (CF) is obtained by CF=0,50*PE+0,25*T1+0,25*T2. The written tests consist of part I and part II. The minimum grade in each part is 3 (out of 10). The minimum final classification (CF) for approval in the course is 10 values (out of 20).
