A Personal Perspective on Numerical Analysis and Optimization
share
I give a brief, non-technical, historical perspective on numerical analysis and optimization. I also touch on emerging trends and future challenges. This content is based on the short presentation that I made at the opening ceremony of The International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Optimization, which was held at Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman, on January 6–9, 2020. Of course, the material covered here is necessarily incomplete and biased towards my own interests and comfort zones. My aim is to give a feel for how the area has developed over the past few decades and how it may continue.
