What will I learn?
The Derivative Function Course gives you a compact, practical path to mastering constrained optimization for real design problems. You learn to translate physical requirements into objective functions and constraints, apply partial derivatives, gradients, Hessians, and KKT conditions, and verify solutions with sensitivity checks, clear reporting, and realistic engineering considerations in a fast, high-impact format.
