Description
Optimization problems occur everywhere. In this seminar, we will investigate this claim from the perspective of an entrepreneur. Starting from an idea for an optimization problem, we will discuss all aspects relevant for successfully founding a viable company. That is, we will discuss not only useful mathematical methods from the optimization toolbox but also economic and legal facets of enduring enterprises. To this end, each participant must first make a pitch for a business idea or for their valuable skills they could contribute to one.
Grading:
The grade for this seminar will heavily depend on active participation throughout the semester, a final presentation, and a final report.
Disclaimer:
