Word problems can be one of the most daunting aspects of algebra for many students. However, by following a few simple steps, you can master the art of solving word problems and improve your algebra ...

Solving linear programming problems in a spreadsheet yields equations for maximizing business profits. As applied to business, linear programming typically involves an objective formula, such as unit ...

Abstract: This paper presents a tabu search-based heuristic solver for general integer linear programming (ILP) problems as a dependable alternative to branch-and-bound (B&B) solvers. It aims to ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

In this paper, we propose a reference direction approach and an interactive algorithm to solve the general multiple objective integer linear programming problem. At each iteration, only one mixed ...

We illustrate a method, which is modeled on "breaching experiments," for studying tacit norms that govern classroom interaction around particular mathematical content. Specifically, this study ...

Abstract: Scientific and engineering problems are frequently governed by partial differential equations; however, the analytical solutions of these equations are often impractical, thereby forcing the ...

Restaurants use linear programming for menu planning. It uses basic algebra to optimize meal production and thereby increase restaurant profits. Linear algebra reflects a direct relationship between ...
