Syllabus/achievement requirements
The preliminary syllabus is the union of
(i) those topics that are lectured (see links to lecture notes below), and
(ii) the following from Vanderbei's book:
- Chapter 1-6: all.
- Chapter 7: 7.1.
- Chapter 11: 11.1-11.3.
- Chapter 12: 12.4.
- Chapter 14: all sections except 14.5.
- Chapter 15: 15.3 (shortest paths).
- Chapter 17: all.
(Here, for instance, 11.1-11.3 means, 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3.)
We use the book
- R. Vanderbei, "Linear Programming: Foundations and Extensions". Third Edition, Springer (2008): it may be read for free, see [More] (you may use the Fourth edition, but some small differences exist).
In addition, we use lecture notes and
