Course Objectives This course is the first part of a two term sequence, aims to give students a good foundation in the theory and applications of linear programming problems as well as an appreciation of its potential applications extensively in such diverse areas as manufacturing, financial planning, health care, the military, public services etc.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Construct mathematical model of the problem
  • Use the simplex method for solving linear programming
  • Attempt to find an optimal or best solution for the problem under consideration
  • Perform a sensitivity analysis
  • Implement Excel and OPL (the general algebraic modeling system) softwares to solve mathematical models
Course Description The main subjects of the course are the construction of linear programming models, the geometrical interpretation of solutions to the linear optimization problems and their algebraic groundwork, the simplex method, duality theory, sensitivity analysis and the dual simplex method.
