The application of mathematics and the scientific
method to military operations was called operations research. Today, the term operations research (or, often, management science) means a scientific approach to decision making, .… under conditions requiring the allocation of scarce resources. IE 416, Chap 1:1, July 98

A solution to a linear system of m equations in n
Page 20 and 30: A solution to a linear system of m equations in n unknowns is a set of values for the unknowns that satisfies each of the system's m equations. For any linear system, a variable that appears with a coefficient of in a single equation and a coefficient of in all other equations is called a basic variable (BV). Any variable that is not a basic variable is called a nonbasic variable (NBV). IE 416, Chap 2:2, July 98

Linear Programming Terms (Chap. 3) * Summarize the problem as a matrix
* Formulate the problem: decision variable, objective function (OF), OF coefficient, constraint (ST), technological coefficient, right hand side (RHS), sign restriction, unrestricted in sign (URS), assumptions (divisibility, certainty, … ) * Solve the problem: feasible region (based on constraints, bounded, unbounded, no f.r.), graphical solution, iso-profit (cost) line, optimal solution (extreme point, no solution, one solution, multi- solution), binding constraint, nonbinding constraint, infeasible LP, unbounded LP IE 416, Chap 3, May 99
