Optimization modeling is a mathematical approach used to find the best solution to a problem from a set of possible choices, considering specific constraints and objectives. Optimization modeling is a powerful tool used in various fields, including operations research, engineering, economics, finance, logistics and more.

Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [1] [2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization.

The Optimization Model class provides a common API for defining and accessing variables and constraints, as well as other properties of each model. The existence of optimization methods can be traced to the days of Newton, Lagrange, and Cauchy.

An optimization model is defined as a mathematical or biological intelligence-based approach used to solve complex problems by analyzing various objectives and constraints to achieve optimal solutions.

Optimization is the problem of making decisions to maximize or minimize an objective in the presence of complicating constraints. The class will take you on a journey through the theory, methods, and application of linear programming, integer programming, Markov chains, and Markov decision processes.
