Engineers, scientists, and financial analysts use optimization to find better solutions to their problems. This webinar will present MathWorks global optimization solutions for finding the best solution, or multiple good solutions, to problems that contain multiple maxima or minima, including problems that are nonsmooth or discontinuous. Product demonstrations will illustrate how you can use global search, genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, or direct search solvers to solve challenging real-world problems. Improving optimization execution speed using parallel computing will also be discussed.

This is an introductory webinar, and requires no previous knowledge of MATLAB.
