| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The purpose of agricultural system engineering is system optimization. In recent years, optimizing calculation opportunities are increasing. With this background, we will learn the concept of basic simplex method, dynamic programming method, golden section method, and gradient method among various optimization methods, and will also practice numerical analysis using python. In addition, as an application of optimization, we will give a lecture on neural networks, genetic algorithms, and cellular automaton with practice numerical analysis using python. We also explain the concept of dynamic model analysis and ecosystem models. | |||
| Course Goals | Understand the fundamental methods for optimization used in the lecture, and develop computer code using python to apply for various problems in agricultural systems. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
1 to 2 weeks of classes are planned for each of the topics covered in the course, including the following: 1. Overview of agricultural systems engineering 2. Optimization methos for linear planning problems 3. Simplex method 4. Dynamic planning 5. Method of golden section 6. Gradient methods 7. Neural networks 8. Genetic algorithms 9. Cellular automaton 10. Dynamic model analysis 11. Ecosystem model The lecturer will be available in his office during the feedback period to answer questions from students. |
