Concepts and applications of linear programming models, theoretical development of the simplex algorithm, and primal-dual problems and theory.
Why did I take this class??
Looks like an interesting topic. How am I supposed to graduate with a computer science degree without knowing anything about (linear) programming?
This is a fundamental topic in foreign schools, why is it not taught to undergraduates at UMD?
If you search up "linear programming umd," you will find that LP is maybe a topic in MATH401, covered in CMSC754, covered in CMSC764, then almost exclusively taught in graduate-level business and maybe engineering classes.
