a general question

[Tony Huerlimann]

I discovered APmonitor recently and my question is: there is gekko a Python lib for model specification, but there is also another language "Model .... End". Are these two alternatives to specifying models? and why are there two? I did not find explanation on why some examples are in gekko and some others in that modeling language.

Thanks for a link to find some explanation

Great question. Gekko is a front-end interface to APMonitor. You can see the APMonitor model in the folder m.path or by opening the run directory with m.open_folder() - open the file gk0_model.apm

Here are some examples: https://apmonitor.com/wiki/index.php/Main/GekkoPythonOptimization

Dear Aisa,

Some of the courses (https://apm.byu.edu/prism/index.php/Site/OnlineCourses) offer certificates of completion. We've partnered with AIChE and Udemy to offer the courses with a certificate such as:

• Begin Python: https://apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/CourseProjects
• Data Science: https://apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/DataScience
• Process Dynamics and Control (3 part course): https://apmonitor.com/pdc/index.php/Main/CourseSchedule (coming soon)

There are additional courses coming soon. We offer course credit for BYU for those who are enrolled as students. All the material is freely available for those who self-study or join the course remotely as a partnership with their university. Students learn online and receive credit from a course listed at their university. I have this arrangement with the University of Utah and typically have 6-15 students take the course each time it is taught. The next online, remote Dynamic Optimization course will be offered Jan-Apr 2023: https://apmonitor.com/do/

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

John Hedengren

hi John,

Hope you are well. I have been following videos and tutorials on your website since last year. How can I earn certificate of course completion as a non BYU student?

Thank you,

Aisa

Aisa,

Here is a coupon code to join the Udemy Data Science course (free): https://www.udemy.com/course/python-data-science-with-tclab/?couponCode=718BC141CE2526FAD58B

The code is available for 1000 registrations so feel free to share it with others. If you don't have a TCLab device for the exercises then use "TCLabModel()" whereever "TCLab()" is used in the code.
