There are, generally speaking, two types of people in the mathematical optimization software field: • Optimization solver developers: The technical experts who devise and implement the algorithms that ...

Optimization seeks to find the best. It could be to design a process that minimizes capital or maximizes material conversion, to choose operating conditions that maximize throughput or minimize waste, ...

Supply chains consist of imperfect humans struggling to make perfect decisions. In the end, though, it all comes down to a game of numbers. That, at least, is the theory behind mathematical ...

"What's the difference between mathematical optimization and machine learning?" This is a question that — as the CEO of a mathematical optimization software company — I get asked all the time.

A thorough understanding of Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus, and strong familiarity with the Python programming language (e.g., basic data manipulation libraries, how to construct functions and ...

In Part 1 of this series on optimization and recovery, we considered two limitations of optimization processes and the light they shed on pseudo-recovery. Let’s now think more about what the ...
