Hello and welcome to Practical MDO!
This is the introductory lecture in a series of lessons on how to perform efficient gradient-based optimization. There are a combination of videos, Python notebooks, and other resources as part of this course. We largely use the OpenMDAO framework for our lessons and examples.
Here is the course website: https://openmdao.github.io/PracticalM...
We are actively developing the course, so expect many more lessons and videos!
