What will I learn?
Gain expertise in the simplex method through this practical course. You will learn to formulate linear programs effectively, transform them into standard form, construct initial tableaus using slack variables, perform pivot operations accurately while tracking the basis, and interpret optimal solutions including slack and profit values. Additionally, develop skills to analyse sensitivity and present insights confidently to decision-makers.
