Learning solvers and be done

To the untrained eye, it is not immediately obvious whether using a solver is an easy step or impossible. Let’s take a look at problem complexity, scalability to our problem size.

How to crash a project

There are many ways to make a project go awry. In today’s video, we explain three basic rules that almost guarantee your optimization project will screw up. If you’re a fan of epic project failures: Here comes the recipe!

Heuristics

Heuristics – is this just another buzzword? Why is it used so often when talking about optimization and what does it have to do with pizza? We explain what a heuristic is and how it works.

Carbon Emissions

Most of the time, when we talk about optimization, it’s about cost, that is, money. But with optimization you can achieve so much more than just saving money: For example, minimizing Co2 emissions. We show how it can be done.

Simulation vs. Optimization

Simulation and optimization are two terms that are often used almost synonymously. Yet they are two fundamentally different techniques. Our new episode “One more thing about…” explains the difference.
