50018	Lecture-Discussion	NS	1:00PM -2:40PM	MW	110 Speech & Hearing Science Bldg	Shanbhag, V Nedich, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/07-12/07/07 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Game Theory Models, Appl & Algrthm This course provides an introduction to game-theoretic models, with a focus on the theory and algorithms for the solution of equilibrium problems over continuous strategy sets. Specifically, we will develop convergence theory for centralized and distributed approaches for the solution of a variety of game-theoretic problems. Course topics will include fixed-point theorems, Nash equilibrium problems, generalized Nash equilibrium problems and Stackelberg equilibrium problems. We will draw on applications from communication networks, electricity markets, supply-chain networks and traffic equilibrium problems. Students will be expected to implement some of the algorithms on Matlab. Prerequisites: Basic background in Linear Algebra and Multivariate Calculus, or instructor's permission. Meets with IE 598, NS Restriction(s): Not intended for Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.

50660	Lecture-Discussion	SC	4:00PM -4:50PM	F	403B2 Engineering Hall	Chopra, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/07-12/07/07 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Topic: Venture Funded Startups-Venture Capital has become an increasingly important source of financing for technology based startups over the past 15 years. However the process and task of raising venture capital remains largely a black art to students and first time entrepreneurs. Without much prior knowledge they are often forced to negotiate terms of investment with professional investors largely on their own, sometimes making costly mistakes! This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts, tools, and language used by Venture Capitalists (VC�s). In particular we will look at how VC�s evaluate, value, and structure new companies. Prerequisites: Math 463, GE 598 FEM Finance for Engineering Managers, GE 598 IS Technology Innovation and Strategy , GE/TE 461 (GE 498 TE1 Technology Entrepreneurship). For seniors and graduate students only. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior class standing.
