This course will examine optimization through a business analytics lens. Students will learn the theoretical aspects of linear programming, basic Julia programming, and proficiency with linear and nonlinear solvers. Theoretical components of the course are made approachable and require no formal background in linear algebra or calculus.
The primary focus of the course is optimization modeling. As a six-week subject, it covers about half of the material of the MIT OpenCourseWare version, 15.053 Spring 2013. The topics of the 2013 subject were optimization modeling, algorithms, and theory.
As part of the Open Learning Library (OLL), this course is free to use. You have the option to sign up and enroll if you want to track your progress, or you can view and use all the materials without enrolling. Resources on OLL allow learners to learn at their own pace while receiving immediate feedback through interactive content and exercises.

This book consists of ten weeks of material given as a course on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for second year mathematics majors at the University of Bristol. It is the first course devoted solely to differential equations that these students will take.

Math in Real Life (MiRL) supports the expansion of regional networks to create an environment of innovation in math teaching and learning.  The focus on applied mathematics supports the natural interconnectedness of math to other disciplines while infusing relevance for students.  MiRL supports a limited number of networked math learning communities that focus on developing and testing applied problems in mathematics.  The networks help math teachers refine innovative teaching strategies with the guidance of regional partners and the Oregon Department of Education.

The ability to quantify the uncertainty in our models of nature is fundamental to many inference problems in Science and Engineering. In this course, we study advanced methods to represent, sample, update and propagate uncertainty. This is a "hands on" course: Methodology will be coupled with applications. The course will include lectures, invited talks, discussions, reviews and projects and will meet once a week to discuss a method and its applications.

This course teaches principles of flow, transport, and reaction processes in the natural subsurface.

This class covers the mathematics of inverse problems involving waves, with examples taken from reflection seismology, synthetic aperture radar, and computerized tomography.

This short, pedagogically flexible activity guides students to answer six questions about the radiative energy budget of the earth as a whole. The activity gives students practice applying basic physical principles to observations and raises a question that can motivate investigation of the greenhouse effect.
