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.

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

George Bernard Dantzig, a Stanford University mathematics professor for three decades whose groundbreaking Simplex Algorithm has been used by industry to find the most efficient means to manufacture ...
