  \item[ Text :]~\\
AUTHOR: Chvatal, Vasek, 1946-\\
TITLE: Linear programming \\
IMPRINT: New York : W.H. Freeman, c1983.\\
CALL NUMBER: T57.74.C54 1983\\

  \item[ Prerequisites :]
     \begin{description}
      \item[]
       Math 235, Linear Algebra
   \end{description}

  \item[ Grading:]
     10 percent assignments; 25 percent midterm; 65 percent final.\\
A passing grade in the final exam is required to pass the course.\\
 A missed assignment or midterm will be treated as a mark of zero
unless the cause is illness (medical documentation required), or similar
good reason given promptly in writing, in which case the corresponding
weight will normally be transferred to the final exam.
    \begin{description}
 \item[Midterm:]
        Wed. Mar 1, 7-9PM, in rooms MC2034,35,36,37. 
Students having a conflict can write the exam
on the same day 5-7PM, in MC4041. Such students must obtain permission
in advance from their instructor.
  \item[Assignments:]
      There will  be approximately 5 assignments. The emphasis will be
on problem solving. The assignments are due on the stated date {\bf at
the beginning of class}
 unless another arrangement has been made with
the instructor {\bf in advance}.


\item[Tests:]
     The tests will cover the basic material covered in the lectures.
It is important to know and understand the definitions and theorems.

The topics covered by the exams will include most of chapters 
1, 2, 3, 5,7,8,9,10 of the text, This includes
material on the revised simplex method, methods for solving general LPs,
duals of general LPs (including complementary slackness conditions),
theorems of the
Farkas lemma type, sensitivity  analysis, and integer programming as covered in
the lectures.

There will be questions asking for definitions of
concepts. You will be required to know the statements of all the theorems,
and have
an intuitive understanding of their proofs. You should be able to use them to
derive simple consequences. 

It is extremely important to attend classes, since some of the material
will differ from the text.

\item[ Computing:]~~
  For some parts of the course the matrix computation
package MATLAB will be used.  It is available on undergrad.math.  If you
have never logged on to your undergrad.math account, you should get your
password by taking identification to MC 3011.

     \item[  Course Rationale:]~~
     This course is centered on the simplex method for linear
programming. 
The aim of this course is to understand the basic
principles and theory of linear programming.

\begin{enumerate}
\item
G.B. Dantzig (1963) "Linear Programming and Extensions"
       This is the  classical text on LP. 
When our text by Chvatal appeared, several reviewers stated that it
is the first book with a solid contribution since Dantzig's book.

\item

       Good insights and explanations for duality theory. In particular,
see the interpretation of duality theory for the diet problem.

\item

      This is the encyclopedia of books on linear programming - that is
the reason for the caps in the title. However, there are also lots of numerical
examples.
