It offers a focused investigation of an important area of numerical mathematics which is used, for example, in scheduling, control and data analysis. The course encompasses the modelling of real-world problems andtheir solution by a diverse range of techniques including the classical simplex approach and the recent interior point methods for non-linearly constrained problems. Students will be encouraged to look at practical case studies and to appreciate the importance of good software.

For an MSc you subsequently undertake a dissertation in an area of your interest. The Numerical Optimisation Centre at the University of Hertfordshire has been at the forefront of the field for more than 25 years and has published over 300 technical reports during that time. It has helped many commercial organisations with their optimisation problems.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
