MIT 18.200 Principles of Discrete Applied Mathematics, Spring 2024 Instructor: Peter Shor View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-200-principles-of-discrete-applied-mathematics-spring-2024 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61p2fXeXjNCrfNHFwyW-bl0 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.
