README for teachers in optimization week

Book

The book draft for this year is here (note the "draft" in the URL): mude.citg.tudelft.nl/2024/book/draft/optimization/overview.html. Access it with username: teacher and password: access.

Note that this year I am including the Gurobi instructions in the book (paired with PA 1.4A, see below), and will also prepare a very brief overview for how to use it in a notebook (paired with PA 1.5, see below). The draft of these pages are here: mude.citg.tudelft.nl/2024/book/draft/programming/gurobi.html#.
