Stanford EE364A: Convex Optimization

Descriptions

• Offered by: Stanford
• Prerequisites: Python, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, Numerical Analysis
• Programming Languages: Python
• Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
• Class Hour: 150 hours

Professor Stephen Boyd is a great expert in the field of convex optimization and his textbook Convex Optimization has been adopted by many prestigious universities. His team has also developed a programming framework for solving common convex optimization problems in Python, Julia, and other popular programming languages, and its homework assignments also use this programming framework to solve real-life convex optimization problems.

In practice, you will deeply understand that for the same problem, a small change in the modeling process can make a world of difference in the difficulty of solving the equation. It is an art to make the equations you formulate "convex".
