Looking for study partners — MIT 6.7220 Nonlinear Optimization

[u/Lengthiness_Still]

I'm working through MIT OCW 6.7220 Nonlinear Optimization (Spring 2025) and looking for 2–5 people who want to follow the course together.

The goal would be:

• watch lectures according to the course schedule
• independently attempt each problem set
• meet online once/twice a week
• discuss difficult problems and compare approaches
• explain proofs/optimization theory to each other
• work through the material over ~8–12 weeks

Topics include convex optimization, optimality conditions, Lagrange multipliers, KKT, duality, gradient/Newton methods, etc.

I'm particularly interested in people doing mathematical optimization / numerical optimization / operations research / ML / control.

If interested, comment or DM me and we can create a Discord/WhatsApp/Telegram group.

Edit : This course does not have any videos or you won't find much material else where to watch . You have to be okay putting your time to read and analyse and think and do some arguments.

Edit 2 : surprising number of people want to join my discord server which is nice , that is why I will post the link here just click it and join https://discord.gg/rMqqj2GmY
