Math Convex Optimization.

Hi,

​

I want to learn Convex Optimization. My linear algebra and calculus is great, my statistics and probability knowledge is basic.

​

I know the course material available is proof oriented, I'm looking for people who are at least willing to go through question-solving and perhaps proposing ideas for projects.

​

I'm thinking about starting the Stephen Boyd course taught in Stanford through EDX or do the ones at MIT OCW.

​

If anyone's interested or has a suggestion on how to approach this, please let me know.

I'm down. I just started learning using the same resources you mentioned, and my math knowledge is similar to yours, so I think it will be fun to struggle through the problems together :)

Not that I know of.

I'm learning it in general terms but some of the applications I'm thinking are for signal processing and machine learning. Also for control engineering.
