Typical problems in the fields of numerical analysis and operational research are studied with the aim of proposing some simple algorithms for their solution. Generally, the easiest algorithms for a given problem are considered in this course, and additional references are given to the students who are interested in learning more about the topic. Practical exercises are also proposed to the students (7 TPs).


École Polytechnique (Palaiseau, academic years 2008-10)

  1. Introduction to C++. École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France. September 15th, 2009.

    In this lecture, the basis of the programming language are introduced. Part of the lecture is devoted to control structures, functions, programming paradigms (procedural and object-oriented programming), classes, inheritance, polymorphism, exceptions. Pratical examples are provided.

  2. Operational Research. École Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France. November/December, 2008.

    Visit the web site of the course (ISC610A).

    Syllabus: data mining, clustering, optimization, solution of the presented problems by AMPL.

    The slides of the lecture can be downloaded here: Data Mining and Clustering.
    It's a quick introduction to data mining, where the main focus is on clustering techniques. Part of the lecture is devoted to the so-called Proogle project, a sort of Google for projects, that I used as an excuse for presenting various clustering problems, that are necessary for the development of the considered project.

    The slides related to the three TDs are also available: TD3, TD4, TD5.

    Some of the exercises discussed during the lectures are available for download: TDs-exercises.tar.gz
