The 3 hour course was presented to a group of PhD students in the Doktorandenkolleg in Weissensee, Austria, September 5-9, 2016. Thanks to Marie-Therese Wolfram for covering my travel expenses and to the Doktorandenkolleg for providing additional funds.

Description

This short course gives an introduction into numerical methods for PDE-constrained optimization. It covers numerical solution of PDEs and sensitivity computations and also briefly reviews some preliminaries from numerical linear algebra and numerical optimization. Finally, some more advanced topics are briefly outlined.
