The problem set will guide you towards posing and solving some interesting problems such as a financial portfolio problem and the optimal transportation problem as linear programs. Students can expect ...

Express this problem as a linear programming problem given that the objective is to minimise cost. Answer: Required LPP to minimise cost is Z = 400x + 200y, subject to 5x + 2y ≥ 30. 2x + y < 15 ...

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.
