Numerical Methods and Optimization lectures by professor Pardalos

Professor Pardalos will give a series of lectures for students on Numerical Methods and Optimization.

This mini course will cover fundamental results regarding numerical methods on systems of linear equations, nonlinear equations, interpolation and approximation, the eigenvalue problem, and  introduction to optimization. Emphasis will be given to algorithm complexity, stability of algorithms, and recent developments in the field. The main source of these lectures will be the book:
