| Course description | Xpress-MP is a world-leading suite of mathematical modelling and optimization tools. In this course, the modelling language of Xpress-MP will be taught via a sequence of case studies in optimal decision-making and the facility within Xpress-MP to solve a range of linearly constrained continuous and discrete mathematical programming problems will be explored. An introduction to consultancy report-writing will be given. |
