#3 Problem Formulation Example | Surrogates and Approximations in Engineering Design

Welcome to 'Surrogates and Approximations in Engineering Design' course ! Time to bring those optimization concepts to life with a practical example! We'll walk through a real-world scenario, using visual aids like iso-contour plots to understand how the objective function and constraints interact. We'll also explore the difference between finding the absolute best solution (global optima) and settling for really good solutions (local optima). And remember, our focus is on doing more with less – minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency.
