Week 8- Convex Functions

Click here to read about Week 8.

During this week, we will learn techniques for proving that a function is convex that are based on constructing the function from simpler building blocks that guarantee convexity. These tools also form the basis of disciplined convex programming, allowing you to implement convex optimization in a modeling framework with guarantees that your objective function is convex.

Your fourth homework assignment is due this Sunday at midnight.

Here are more details on what you need to do this week:

• Go through module 8 and complete the week 8 readings.
• Attend our second meetup on Monday at 6:45 p.m. ET on Zoom
• Finish working on Lab 4
