Optimal Decision Making - An Introduction to Mathematical Optimisation

Presenter: Joyce Zhang

Abstract: In this workshop, I will introduce mathematical optimisation and some applications in real life. I will show how to develop a mathematical model and use a graphical method to solve a simple linear optimisation problem arising in flight allocation. Then I will demonstrate how to use Excel and its add-in solver to solve the same problem. Students will be given opportunities to use Excel to solve some classic optimisation problems as well as Sudoku games.
