See How It Works for details. This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving algorithmic ...

About the same time, he invented the “simplex method,” an algorithm for solving linear programming problems. “The virtually simultaneous development of linear programming and computers led ...

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.
