Welcome to the Simplex Place!

In this discussion we examine the Simplex Method from the vantage point of the good old Gaussian elimination procedure for the solution of systems of linear equations. It is assumed that you are familiar with the basic structure of Linear Programming Problems and the theory of linear programming.

We shall go through each step of the "textbook" version of the primal simplex method and then summarise the procedure as a recipe. At the end of the tour we shall experiment with our beloved interactive simplex engine. It will be a long tour.
