Short course

All numbered exercises are from the textbook; exercises which start with ‘A’ are from the set of additional exercises posted on the textbook website. Data files for the additional exercises can be found on the textbook page. If you cannot find an additional exercise listed, you may be looking at an outdated copy of the additional exercises; you should only use these exercises.

Projects

You are welcome, even encouraged, to use LaTeX to typeset your project, but handwritten project is also OK. You're welcome (but not required) to use the LaTeX templates for EE364b.

  • Project 1, due Monday 7/20/20:
    A9.5 Standard form LP barrier method.
    A9.8 Standard form LP barrier method with infeasible start Newton method (includes A8.12).

  • Project 2, due Friday 7/24/20:
    The second project involves writing a short report (1-2 pages) of a paper you read related to the course contents. A good resource for selecting your topic is the bibliography section at the end of each chapter of the book. All students are expected to give an oral summary of their reports too.
