Talk:Simplex algorithm method
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adapted from an example we did at school, but completely reworded (nothing but numbers copied). Should this be in wikibooks? Jjbeard 14:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] directly from D1 textbook
this is directly from a Heinemann modular mathematics book. Isnt that illegal?
[edit] Changed Problem
Sorry about this - it IS from that book. We didn't have the book at the time, and the teacher did it from his own note - i assumed it wasn't copyright. I have put in a new problem generated by myself, and the wording is different from the book (which we have now been given) anyway, even if the method is the same (which is kind of the point).

- I believe that "the point" is to respect other people's copyright. If wikipedia starts to ignore that, the project would find itself in a world of sh*t. Please be a bit more carefull in the future. --Mecanismo | Talk 10:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Should both slack variables really have zero coefficients??

- In this case: yes, as there are two basic variables and two equations. If the problem is over-specified (as it typically is in the real world), some of the "excess" slack variables may have to be nonzero. -- smurfix 13:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
