Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes	The course learning outcomes are: the introduction of the students to linear programming formulation, the comprehension of the mathematical properties of linear programming problems, the understanding of the theory underlying the simplex algorithm, the understanding of the dual theory and its interpretation, the use of LINDO software package to solve linear programming problems. Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to: to model linear programming problems. to solve linear programming problems with the Simplex method. to apply the appropriate modifications of Simplex method when it is necessary. to validate and interpret the results obtained when linear programming problems are solved using LINDO software.
General Competences	Working independently Decision-making Adapting to new situations Production of free, creative and inductive thinking Synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology.
