I'm not sure what google would have yielded 7 years ago but if you search for optimization now, the mathematical optimization wiki is the only wikipedia hit on the first page. Yay for progress!
For anyone specifically looking for algorithms to solve convex optimization problems, it is better to jump to lecture 15 after first introduction lectures.
Thank you for making these lectures available. When the illumination problem is introduced, the camera stays on the speaker rather than showing us the slide. The slides are more important than the speaker and need more emphasis. They are also difficult to read. The entire video should be in HD.
The lectures require you to read the textbook first, however you will find the textbook hard to understand without tutoring. So, think twice before even getting started. Both the textbook and the tutorials are not step-by-step stuffs, you need to have solid math backgrounds, not kidding.
15:30 optimal solutions to distinguish from sub-optimal solutions, that in the context of minimisation are generally very fast solvers for an interval around the optimal points. In fact, for most mathematical problem, including the search for global minima, can be demonstrated that an optimal solution doesn't exist numerically. Demonstrating one optimal solution, that can be done in quantum computing, is kind of a big deal.
Can anyone elaborate more on how we found that the objective function is convex? One guy asked how did we get the graph which was shown on 01:12:00, but I am struggling to understand the explanation
The canonical form that you wrote initially is not canonical form for a minimization problem since x vector will take a value of 0 vector and the objective will also have a value of 0 which indeed satisfy all the constraints. I blv. the constraint signs should have been greater than or equals for a minimization problem as well as less than or equal for a maximization problem.

It was taped at Standford before the time of the actual class. On the day of the class, he was in India so this tape was shown. So while people were watching the video he was in India, not while it was being taped.
Saying "optimal solution" is NOT overstating the obvious. The term "solution" alone refers to ANY vector in the decision variables (feasible or not). That's why we say a solution is feasible, infeasible, or optimal. By the way, if you don't trust me, you're making a big mistake.
Not in an optimization context, because the problem is to find what minimizes the objective function. If you solve the problem, you have the point that minimizes the function and is then the optimal solution.
yes-no coming to class. colleges sell Admit ticket to class. seats in a lecture hall. digital colleges can be seen by billions billions. anytime anywhere. instead of 100-200 people, we can now have 1-3 billion people see the lecture. worldwide
I completed exam in EE364A 8 hours ago (approx. today), and it takes 24 hours as in 2008. It's very unusual format for most people in this world. On this record from 2008 prof. at first 12 minutes which you don't like prof. say about various things relative to the course: 1. how exam will be in 02:08, 2. 03:30 - what you should know to pass a course 3. 05:20 - who is TA's 4. 05:58 - basic prerequisites with link to EE263 5. 06:50 - That during a course you will do(actually really) real things in machine leanring, control, finance All that which is importnant to students you will see in each video (I guess). If it's "incoherent babbling" for you, it's not for the students of the class. You should be happy even that you have this videos for free at least. p.s. Professor is awesome
That chinese guy is paying for his education, and trying to learn. He is in his full rights to do this. I say this as the white guy that asks trivial questions in my lectures.

Boyd is an arrgoant fucko, who is so full of himself. imagine slapping him when he is in a middle of one of his pretentious sentences. teaching skill is 0 - you'll end up more stupid when you came here..
I've learned years ago that anyone who use the word "pretentious" is usually the most pretentious idiot himself. These kind of "pretentious idiots" usually hate smart people and people with good taste in music and movies. These idiots comprise 90% of human population, thats why you see so many of these idiots like this Martin Stu guy in real life and in internet.
the student talking in between reminds me of Ross's impersonation in friends (after his lecture with a black line on his face) ' dude don't you even bath?'...that guy needs to take out what ever is stuck in his mouth...and speak properly.
12:12 Starts
28:00 Comments on NP-hard
37:15 "Is life convex?"
1:06:40 Example on illumination
He suggested students to use Python at 2008. That was really forward-looking
Now he suggests Julia. This video eliminated my doubts for learning it. I'll 100% trust him.
@@이효건-o4o where does he suggest julia? Would like to hear his take.
@@MO-xi1kv he says that in an invited lecture at Seoul national university if i remember correctly

Thank you Stanford for uploading so many brilliant materials here!
from 12:30 the lecture starts
شكرا

thanks :)
What a prof...so easy way of teaching complex concepts...wonderful
I'm not sure what google would have yielded 7 years ago but if you search for optimization now, the mathematical optimization wiki is the only wikipedia hit on the first page. Yay for progress!
Boyd is fantastic
Many Many thanks for keeping this up! I hope to watch all the videos over the next several weeks.
This man is one of the funniest people alive.
Okay boomer
I love how in 51:00 he said that they would blur the face of the statistician but they just show his face instead. XD
+Pedro Guilherme Siqueira Moreira Lol I noticed XD
Yeah very fun moment! p.s I like - 25:22
I'm citing that passage.
I also liked this guy as Skyler's boss on Breaking Bad.

Convex Optimization is key to start your research.
why?
Thank you so much for this amazing video! It is really helpful to my optimization class!
Great lecture! Love it.
For anyone specifically looking for algorithms to solve convex optimization problems, it is better to jump to lecture 15 after first introduction lectures.
Thanks man.
He's acknowledging to the class HERE at Stanford that this is atypical that he's filming this a quarter before the class meets officially...
Boyd teaching optimization?....count me in for the whole series!
Thank you for making these lectures available.

He should acknowledge Dr. Ahmad Bazzi also
Who's that?

Hi @Guoxuan_Hao do you know the name of the book?
The book should be "Convex Optimization"
by Boyd
and Vandenberghe, you can find it on the web.
Totally agree...
42:00
Guoxuan Hao seems im not the only one think the book hard reading, that’s good

Begins at (13:55) Good thing TH-cam gave this guy one and a half hours to work with... =P
You can change the speed if you don't like it.
25:47 This guy gets it.
It's like people still walking around with that adolescent 'everything is subjective' argument.
I'm willing to spend 20 hrs per problem on 10 problems each chapter if I can even have a 75% chance of understanding this stuff!
how did you do after six years?

thank u
@25:00 Everyone goes through a stage… “Everything is an optimization problem”
1:02:19 Chris Griffin from Family Guy!
haha
Professor Boyd looks just like Skyler's boss Ted Beneke from Breaking Bad lol
Lol yeah
💀💀💀
0:11 "The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't."
24:59 everything is optimization :)
Optimization includes, at least: search, estimation, forecasting, decision-making, control, planning, classification, design, modeling.
He interrupts himself way too much. That's fun to hear.
I would like just to know who on earth pressed dislike!
I think what people dislike is the camera when it should focus on the slide instead of the professor.
Does anyone know in which lecture (if any) Professor Boyd discusses constraint relaxation? Thanks.
1:14:00 Life is not markov! It's almost the opposite.
thank you for make this course avaliable
I want lectures of this course if available
thank you.....
Why you're here: 31:05
where from we can get its lectur notes/slides??
Which book is being followed
15 years ago....
I like chalk and blackboard lectures.
sorry, could anyone give some explanation on 263?
12:12
lect starts at 1 hour
lmao
starts 43:00
wonderful1
1:02:26 Chris from Family Guy is an EE major. Wow, didn't know he had it in him.
WOW! UNDERRATED COMMENT
anyone know what a\b means?
anyone got the slides or the home works for this class?
You can get them from here: web.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/
Does anyone knows the name of the book?
《convex optimization》
The way he talks makes me laugh so hard!
Just a heads up, the first lecture is very bad. But it gets way better later, just wait for it.
i dont think Boyd is used to people asking him questions
yay, 80s music!
maybe if you tell us when youre gonna start lecturing, we would know more about convex.

I don't think he is in India as the electric pin at the back is either American or European pin and not Indian electric pin!
It was taped at Standford before the time of the actual class. On the day of the class, he was in India so this tape was shown. So while people were watching the video he was in India, not while it was being taped.

If you drop all the btw, ummm, I mean you can optimize this lecture (time) way better godaamit!

Don't trust anyone who says "optimal solution"
3 people don't understand "convex"

After twelve minutes all I have heard is incoherent babbling. He could start by optimizing that.
I completed exam in EE364A 8 hours ago (approx. today), and it takes 24 hours as in 2008. It's very unusual format for most people in this world.
On this record from 2008 prof. at first 12 minutes which you don't like prof. say about various things relative to the course:
1. how exam will be in 02:08,
2. 03:30 - what you should know to pass a course
3. 05:20 - who is TA's
4. 05:58 - basic prerequisites with link to EE263
5. 06:50 - That during a course you will do(actually really) real things in machine leanring, control, finance
All that which is importnant to students you will see in each video (I guess).
If it's "incoherent babbling" for you, it's not for the students of the class.
You should be happy even that you have this videos for free at least.
p.s. Professor is awesome
maybe you should optimize yourself. because you can skip to the lecture if you don't need the stuff before..
The problem might not be convex, and it took him some time to land in a feasible region.
Viral fever me too
China Man hahahaha
Is your life convex? ... I really didn't get that joke... damn...
Probably a Russian 🤣
That chinese guy is paying for his education, and trying to learn.
He is in his full rights to do this.
