Some other methods outside the simplex method

Model in uncertainty and testing for sensitivity and stochastic conditions.

The simplex method basically checking cornerpoints (vertices) of the polyhedta of solution space to find the most optimal solution more easily.

The basics of linear programs.

Introducing the topic so far emphasis on linear programs and the simplex method.
