We’ll start with a little practice with optimization now. Just a taste. In Excel, optimization problems are solved using an Add-In that ships with Excel called Solver.

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial ...

A new type of computer uses oscillators in special materials to find the most efficient solutions to complex scheduling and ...

Optimization problems can be tricky, but they make the world work better. These kinds of questions, which strive for the best way of doing something, are absolutely everywhere. Your phone’s GPS ...

Problem-solving is not usually completed in a straight line, with fixed questions and predetermined answers. Instead, it requires learning, agility, curiosity, and intuition.

“When solving a very large computational problem, optimization solvers can require significant computational time to find a first feasible solution,” said Dr. Timo Berthold, director of Mixed ...
