Duality Course
Build strong skills in linear programming duality starting from basics. Link linear algebra, dual spaces, and shadow prices, then work through primal-dual models for practical optimisation and planning challenges. Perfect for maths experts seeking better understanding and improved modelling abilities.

What will I learn?
This course offers a straightforward guide from setting up linear programmes to grasping their dual forms fully. You'll represent models using matrices, create primal-dual pairs, and link dual variables to shadow prices. With practical examples, you'll tackle small problems, confirm strong duality and complementary slackness, turning theoretical dual concepts into real-world solving skills.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Model linear programmes in matrix format: swiftly pull out A, b, c from constraints.
- Construct duals from primal problems: follow sign patterns and explain shadow prices.
- Apply dual spaces: view A's rows as linear functions and pricing tools.
- Hand-solve compact primal-dual linear programmes and check strong duality plus slackness.
- Convert duality theory into insights for production planning in n-dimensional space.
