Simplex

The Simplex method is a mathematical technique used to find the best possible solution in linear programming problems, where you want to maximize or minimize a particular outcome (like profit or cost) subject to certain constraints (like resources or capacity). It works by systematically moving along the corners (vertices) of the feasible region defined by these constraints to identify the optimal point. Think of it as navigating a polygon-shaped landscape to find the highest peak or lowest valley efficiently, ensuring resources are used most effectively within given limits.
