Dear students,

Dear students,

📅 Reminder: The course will begin on August 21 (morning), with the first exercise session in the afternoon.

Lectures 1 and 2 will be recorded due to rescheduling (and the overlap with the exam of the other optimization course).
However, if you cannot attend both days (Aug 21 and 22), please send us a short message in advance.
