Jerry Yurchisin from Gurobi joins Jon Krohn to break down mathematical optimization, showing why it often outshines machine learning for real-world challenges. Find out how innovations like NVIDIA\u2019s latest CPUs are speeding up solutions to problems like the Traveling Salesman in seconds.\n\nInterested in sponsoring a SuperDataScience Podcast episode?
