Course Objectives In this course, the students will be learning the fundamental concepts of linear programming in order to utilize it for their specific problems.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Acquaintance of students with the fundamental concepts of linear programming.
  • Ability of students to develop an insight about the role of linear programming for different engineering disciplines.
  • As a consequence it is planned to improve students' Geometric and theorical aspects of Linear optimization theory of the Simplex algorithm.
Course Content Simplex algorithm, linear programming, duality theory and economic interpretations, the simplex, big-m, two-phase, revised simplex, the dual simplex methods, sensitivity and post-optimality analysis, special forms of linear programming problems and their solution methods.
