George Dantzig is properly acclaimed as the “father of linear programming.” Linear programming is a mathematical technique used to optimize a situation. It can be used to minimize traffic congestion or to maximize the scheduling of airline flights. He formulated its basic theoretical model and discovered its underlying computational algorithm, the “simplex method,” in a pathbreaking memorandum published by the United States Air Force in early . Linear Programming and Extensions provides an… CONTINUE READING
