No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 to 1989–90 used the number for Department of Systems Design and Analysis of Large Systems); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Theory and algorithms for non-linear constrained optimization problems: convex set, convex functions, convex programming, Kuhn-Tucker conditions, duality, quadratic programming, quasi-Newton methods, geometric programming, dynamic programming. 16:149
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Not in the 1990–91 calendar.
1974–75 to 1989–90 14 calendars
Another title: Analysis of Large Systems, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Topics include macroscopic modelling of large scale resource and societal systems, decomposition techniques, graph-theoretic and computer based methods of analysis, decision and control problems, other problems concerned with complexity, largeness and aggregation.
