Course objectives
Linear programming represents one of the basic optimization methods having a wide range of applications. This course starts with the theoretical foundations of this subject consisting of the study of systems of linear inequalities and leading further to the Duality theorem of linear programming. Next the basic technique of linear programming, that is, the simplex method is explained, and some its variants are discussed.
