math.OC Optimization and Control
- Optimization is heavily used in medicine for cancer treatment, in a technique of radiation therapy called Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Take a look at this presentation of one of the main researchers in the field.
- Used everywhere in almost every electro-mechanical system (cars, planes, the power grid)
- Kalman filteringKalman filtering and the like are used to enable (e.g.) radar tracking.
- Optimization (and more generally, operations research) is used for management in logistics and analyses/feasibility studies.
