The book also addresses linear programming duality theory and its use in algorithm design as well as the Dual Simplex Method, Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition, and a primal-dual interior point algorithm.

Eventually linear programming came to be used in everything from manufacturing to diet planning. George Bernard Dantzig was born in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 8, 1914.
