In case of conflicting information consider the Sisu/Courses/Moodle pages the primary source of information.

Matlab programming language is used to formulate and solve a number of case study problem formulations. The case study examples include combatting eutrophication (i.e. reduction of the nutrients loads to the inland waters and the Baltic Sea) and fisheries management. The techniques and methods studied include static optimization (both unconstrained and constrained), dynamic discrete-time optimization, cohort models, game theoretic applications, Monte Carlo simulation, data fitting, dynamic programming, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost benefit analysis.
