Subject: FW: Announcement about 15.053, Optimization methods in Business Analytics
Date: November 28, 2017 at 12:32:35 PM EST

The goal in 15.053 is to help students develop an "optimization mindset". We want students to look out at the world and see optimizations problems everywhere, and to recognize when these problems can be modeled, analyzed, and solved. Within 15.053, we show how to optimize problems within machine learning and statistics, sports analytics, finance, operations, marketing, as well as other domains.
