18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics (Spring 2024, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Ankur Moitra, Prof. Peter Shor, and Susan Ruff. This course will teach you illustrative topics in discrete applied mathematics, including counting, generating functions, probability, linear optimization, algebraic structures, basic number theory, information theory, and coding theory. It is a CI-M (Communication Intensive in the Major) course and thus includes a writing component. (from ocw.mit.edu)
| Lecture 12 - Introduction to Linear Programming |
We define linear programs. We give two examples: the diet problem and a bake sale problem. We then give two different forms you can put a linear program in: the standard form and the canonical form. Finally, we discuss duals of linear programs.
