Math & Optimizations: Solving Optimization Problems Using Integer Programming

Integer programming is a mathematical optimization model that helps find optimal solutions to our problems. Integer programming problems find more applications than linear programming and are an important tool in a developers toolkit. Examine how to solve optimizations problems using integer programming through this course. Start by comparing the integer programming optimization model and linear programming. Youll then move on to the LP relaxation technique and how it can be used to obtain the starting point of an integer programming solution. Youll also explore the Pulp Python library through different case studies consisting of integer programming problems. Upon completing this course youll be able to apply integer programming to solve optimization problems.
