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.

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 ...
