Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

The death of mathematician George Dantzig is a scientific watershed. Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations.

In linear programming problems, as in most economic problems, the input data are often uncertain. So we haven't finished when we've obtained the optimal solution; we still need to ask, how would this ...
