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.
 

The first Midwest Optimization Seminar was initiated in 1997 at Western Michigan University, after that it  is held annually at universities in the Midwest.
