If you wouldn’t mind passing the word about a new course that we are offering in SP21. 15.076 is an undergraduate course, 12 units, and is a great way to get introduced to the 15-2 major/minor. The syllabus for the class is attached to this email. Students with any questions can contact us at ugeducation at sloan.mit.edu<mailto:ugeducation at sloan.mit.edu>.

Thanks!


Short description: The purpose of the class is to introduce predictive and prescriptive analytics methods to solve problems that contribute to the welfare of society. The emphasis is on using machine learning and optimization methods in innovative ways using real world data. Methods that will be used include: linear and discrete optimization, linear and logistic regression, optimal classification and regression trees, deep learning, random forests and boosted trees. Projects will utilize Julia, Jump and Tensor Flow. Assessment will be based on projects including a capstone project.
