  1. Well, you need optimization in all manner of low-dimensional problems, including getting rockets on target, so it's certainly still useful. High-dimensional and extremely high-dimensional problems are of course not really amenable to such approaches.

  2.  @ДмитрийВасильев-я6б  Not at all. Planning is scheduling or examing your tree of future possibilities before it transforms into the certainities of the past. The schedule may go haywire. Then you plan again. "Enforcement" is really an orthogonal problem, they may not be anything to enforce (e.g. how quickly your fuel tank empties as head for the Moon surface)

  3. There are probably good online course in all kinds of subjects of interest (Coursera and MIT certainly has those). Interaction is key, in old times we wrote down the exercises which one should still do but these days one has the interactive systems and the markup-driven "notebooks". The problem is time... learning and solving even the simplest things takes a lot of time
