Equations


Einstein's most famous equation is [$E=mc^2$].

Newton derived the equation [$s=ut+\sfrac{1}{2}at^2$ ]

Motivation

Hello Everyone,
I am starting this new blog mainly because of the lack of understanding and application of the optimization techniques in the field of construction and civil engineering. In this introductory article I will define and set-out the overall strategy of the blog. How it is intended to reach the ultimate goal of promoting and exploiting optimization techniques in the Construction Industry.
There are several important subject need to be studied in order to be master the optimization field. I am not claiming that I am a pro. Actually, I believe that I am a novice and will blog what I learn so that others can benefit from it. The important topics to study in your journey preparing to be an optimization professional are as follow:
Mathematics
  • Calculus
  • Linear Algebra
  • Probability Theory
Computer Science
  • Programming Language such as (C++, Java, Python)
  • Algorithms Design and Analysis
Optimization Techniques
  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Optimization Using Calculus
  • Linear Programming
  • Dynamic Programming
  • Integer Programming
  • Meta-heuristics
The aforementioned list will be the basic structure for the topics we are going to tackle in order to have the fundamental knowledge to start practical implementation of the optimization techniques to the Construction Industry
