Begins with a study of n-dimensional geometry (hyperplanes, hyperspheres, convex hulls, and convex polyhedra), and moves on to study the differential calculus of functions of several variables. In this context, classical optimization theory is studied - that is, the application of calculus to the basic problem of finding the maxima and minima of a continuous function of one or more variables, using Lagrange multipliers, and paying particular attention to convex and concave functions. The final major topic studied is linear programming through the simplex method. Computational methods are stressed throughout. Other topics, such as search techniques, are taken up as time permits.
