    Section 51:

    MATH-529 — Fundamentals of Optimization: This course covers the following topics: Maximization and minimization of functions of finitely many variables subject to constraints. Basic problem types and examples of applications; linear, convex, smooth, and non-smooth programming. Optimality conditions. Saddle points and dual problems. Penalties and decomposition. Overview of computational approaches.

  • MATH-241 — Analytical Geometry and Calculus A: This is the first course of single variable calculus for University of Delaware students. Topics covered included functions, limits, derivatives, differentiation rules, applications of derivatives, and integrals. Taught two sections of approximately 110 students each of the first single variable calculus course for STEM undergraduate students. I also supervised three graduate teaching assistants and one undergraduate grader.

Before Fall 2011

In 2010 and 2011, I was the main instructor of the module on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) of the Swarm Intelligence course offered to students enrolled at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The goal of this module was to introduce students to the problem of continuous optimization and its solution using PSO algorithms.
