Solving linear programming problems in a spreadsheet yields equations for maximizing business profits. As applied to business, linear programming typically involves an objective formula, such as ...

Formulate linear and integer programming problems for solving commonly encountered optimization problems. Understand how approximation algorithms compute solutions that are guaranteed to be within ...

This paper is an invited contribution to the 50th anniversary issue of the journal Operations Research, published by the Institute of Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS). It describes ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Khachiyan, and recently Karmarkar, gave polynomial algorithms to solve the linear programming problem. These algorithms have a small theoretical drawback; namely, the number of arithmetic steps ...

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 ...
