Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course gives an introduction to programming for decision support (DS) applications. The language of choice is Python, although the course will focus on fundamental programming concepts that also exist in other programming languages. The ultimate goal is to learn how to implement algorithms to solve optimization problems such as the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP).

The course covers the following topics:
* Understand what are DS systems and what is the role of programming in DS.
* Get familiar with Spyder, an integrated development environment for Python.
* Basic concepts of programming, such as variables, operators, conditional statements, loops, functions, and input and output from/to files.
* Implementation of construction and improvement heuristics for the TSP
