About the Course,
Learn Model Building in Excel Spreadsheets using Premium Solver Platform
This self-paced course is designed to teach you fundamental concepts of model building in Excel for optimization, using our Premium Solver Platform software, which is part of our “super-product” Analytic Solver Platform. This course consists of 3 modules which are taught by Dr. Sima Maleki, Frontline Systems’ Modeling Specialist and Consulting Lead.
The first module will provide an overview of techniques in model building, model diagnosis and convexity testing, solver reports, and parametric optimization.
The second module will focus on designing large scale models and transforming non-smooth functions.
The third module will focus on automating optimization in Excel, review of Solver SDK Platform, and an introduction to dimensional modeling.
This training is based on the brand-new textbook Management Science: The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets, 4th Edition by Stephen Powell and Kenneth Baker. This textbook, which uses Analytic Solver Platform for Education throughout, is available for purchase on Amazon, or from its publisher John Wiley. But if you are a recent Frontline customer, please talk with your sales rep: We have a limited number of copies of the digital version of this textbook that we can provide on a complimentary basis.
