Introduction to optimization and operations research

Exercises:

Each week you have exercises that will be solved during the exercise sessions. Most of them require to code in Python. 

You will be provided with pre-coded Jupyter Notebooks, containing the necessary instructions. Most of the Python code has already been provided, so that you should focus mainly on the logic of the code, and not on its exact syntax. 

The TAs will help answer questions that you have about these exercises. Preferably, you should look at the exercises before the exercise session to get familiarized with them and be able to ask questions. 

The solutions of the exercises are also provided. It is advised to look at it only if you are blocked, and cannot proceed on your own. We also advise you to use tools such as ChatGPT who can provide an excellent support for the syntax. 

In addition, there is only a limited number of computer rooms with computers available. Unfortunately, there will not be enough computers for everyone. Approximately, only 1/3 of students might have access to computer rooms, thus, to guarantee access to a computer we strongly advice you to bring your own computer to the exercise sessions.
