Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear Programming: regression, classification and other engineering applications. Integer Linear Programming: Basics, ...

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.

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.
