By Dr.ANEESH KUMAR. K   |   MAHATMA GANDHI COLLEGE, IRITTY
Learners enrolled: 958
The course “Linear Programming” starts with a general introduction to Operations Research and an introduction to Linear Programming Problems (LPP) in particular.  The mathematical preliminaries and related theorems related to LPP are discussed.  Mathematical formulation of LPP and the methods for solving LPP like graphical and simplex methods are discussed.  Duality in LPP is considered.  Transportation Problems (TP), Assignment Problems and various methods of solving such problems are discussed in detail.  The methods for solving TP included North-West corner rule, least cost method, and Vogel’s approximation method.  Hungarian method for solving assignment problems is considered.  The methods for optimizing the solutions are also included.
Theory of games is discussed in detail.  Various types of game problems and the methods for solving game problems including LPP methods, graphical method and dominance property are discussed.
