Course Description

In today's complex world, making optimal decisions is a critical skill for success in various domains, from robotics and automation to finance and resource management. This course will equip you with the power of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), a fundamental framework for sequential decision-making under uncertainty.


Through a series of hands-on, real-life projects, you'll learn how to model and solve challenging decision-making problems using MDPs. You'll start by exploring the foundations of MDPs, including state spaces, action spaces, transition probabilities, and reward functions. With these building blocks, you'll construct realistic scenarios, such as navigating a robot through an environment with obstacles, optimizing portfolio management strategies, or planning efficient resource allocation in supply chains.


As you progress, you'll dive into advanced MDP techniques, including value iteration. You'll master the art of computing optimal value functions and deriving optimal policies that maximize long-term rewards. Additionally, you'll learn how to handle partial observability, continuous state and action spaces, and other real-world complexities.


But this course goes beyond theory. Through immersive projects, you'll gain practical experience in implementing MDPs using Python and powerful libraries like NumPy. You'll tackle gridworld environments, robotic navigation challenges, and even complex financial decision-making scenarios, all while honing your problem-solving skills and developing a deep understanding of MDP applications.


By the end of this course, you'll have a solid grasp of MDP concepts and a portfolio of projects that demonstrate your ability to model and solve intricate decision-making problems. Whether you're a student, researcher, or professional in fields like AI, operations research, or finance, this course will empower you to make informed, intelligent decisions that drive success in your domain.
