1
00:00:04,540 --> 00:00:06,750
This week, we'll
see how optimization

2
00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:09,340
can be used to find
a sports schedule

3
00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:12,500
and to find a perfect
match in online dating.

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:14,640
In the first lecture,
we'll discuss

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,860
how almost every single sports
league uses optimization

6
00:00:17,860 --> 00:00:20,270
to design their
season schedules.

7
00:00:20,270 --> 00:00:22,560
We'll extend the idea
of linear optimization

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,700
to integer optimization,
a powerful way

9
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:27,600
to model decisions.

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,290
In the second
lecture, we'll talk

11
00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:32,060
about how eHarmony,
the online dating site,

12
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:35,370
combines predictive models
with optimization models

13
00:00:35,370 --> 00:00:37,330
to suggest matches.

14
00:00:37,330 --> 00:00:39,350
Let's get started.
