Optimization is an important
area of applied mathematics that bridges mathematical theory with applications
in diverse fields. The Midwest Optimization Seminar provides opportunities
for researchers in this region with different backgrounds to come together
to share their research and teaching experiences, forge collaborations
with colleagues from different institutions, and to expose students to
applications of mathematical theory.
This seminar is held annually in different universities in our region
We are honored to organize it this year
at Western Michigan University.
All faculty and students are welcome to come.
Local Organizing Committee:
