A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Formulation of linear programming problems

Formulation of linear programming problems is the skill of translating a real-life decision situation into mathematical form using decision variables, an objective function, and constraints. For examinations, you must master how to identify what is being decided, express limits correctly as linear equations or inequalities, and state non-negativity conditions, because many questions test modelling more than solving.
