This survey paper is intendedfor the graduate students and researchers who are interested in Operations Research, have solid understanding oflinear optimization but are notfamiliar with Semidefinite Programming (SDP). Here, I provide a very gentle introduction to SDp, some entry points for fu rther look into the SDP literature, and briefintroductions to some selected well-known applications which may be attractive to such audience and in turn motivate them to learn more about semidefinite optimization.
