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 ...

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 ...

Dantzig developed "linear programming" and the simplex method, used to solve complex efficiency problems for large organizations. Stanford professor Keith Devlin offers insight on Dantzig's influence.

The Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 41, No. 4 (Apr., 1990), pp. 291-297 (7 pages) The Hitchcock transportation problem is perhaps one of the `most solved' linear programming problems ...

About the same time, he invented the “simplex method,” an algorithm for solving linear programming problems.

As the title suggests, I have a problem in which I need to formulate an LP model. I'm supposed to work in Excel and use the Solver Add-in feature.I've done several other problems already, but this ...

Operations Research, Vol. 33, No. 4 (Jul. - Aug., 1985), pp. 803-819 (17 pages) We present methods that are useful in solving some large scale hierarchical planning models involving 0-1 variables.
