divided into two parts—Systems Modeling and System
Optimization. Systems Modeling introduces the basics of
mathematical modelling. Students will also learn how to solve
differential equations (first order and second order) and the
Laplace Transform method. Systems Optimization introduces
students to mathematical tools for optimization, in particular
convex optimization, numerical solution algorithms, and
networks. </font><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"

undergrad degrees are preferred. Candidates should have good
grades (A- or A) in Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential

optimization/operation research with good grades. </span></div>
