Linear Programming

Linear programming (LP) is a mathematical technique used to optimize a linear objective functionsubject to a set of linear constraints. In the Philippine context, LP can be applied in various fields such as finance, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing. For instance, LP can be used in financial planning for companies, optimizing transportation routes for logistics, and maximizing crop yields for farmers. Overall, LP offers a valuable tool for decision-making and resource allocation in the Philippines. In the 20-minute lecture above, you are expected to learn more about linear programming and how to solve a word problem through the graphical method. 

Additionally, there are two special applications of linear programming, which is transportation problems, and assignment problems - which will be discussed in the next pages.
