Announcements (previous ones) 25 Mar: if anyone is hitting into the upper constraint of the free GAMS version, you can solve your larger problem, for free, on the NEOS server (click on the link "Submit a job to NEOS"). 02 Apr: you should be aware that the project due date has been extended to 13 April at 16:00. This should fit in with the lighter exam load that most of you have. 03 Apr: some practice questions for the final exam are being added to the document below. Treat this as a final (ungraded) assignment, since it contains questions on the materials recently covered in class. 10 Apr: please submit your project reports at this link: http://yint.org/4G3-project. 12 Apr: looking ahead at my schedule for this week, I'm not likely to get around to grading the project reports until at least 14 April. Feel free to submit your project by 14 April, 16:00, at http://yint.org/4G3-project.
