Abstract: In this one-week course, we offered a training in formulating linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer optimization problems using the modeling language AMPL (https://ampl.com), and solving these problems with various problem-class specific numerical solvers. Optimization problems are at the core of various decision questions that modern industrial and service companies are facing every day. For example,
