Topics this weekTuesday - we finished up the basic simplex and then talked about handling minimization problems. I suggested using the negative of the maximization problems.
Wednesday - we will discuss multiple optimal solutions, unbounded LP's, degenerate LP's and finally the big M method.
Friday - after the quiz, I'll talk about Lindo and do a demonstration.
