This course focuses on convex optimization with applications to wireless communication systems, information theory, signal processing, control systems and machine learning. The first part will be on the theory of convex optimization--recognizing convex sets, convex functions, convex optimization problems and duality. The second part of the course will be on algorithms for solving convex optimization problems. This course is crucial to students and researchers in the above fields of engineering.

CILO-1: Interpret knowledge of mathematics in the context of convex optimization. CILO-2: Design the algorithms for solving convex optimization problems. CILO-3: Identify, formulate and solve the convex optimization problems.
