simplex method

The simplex method is an optimization technique used in linear programming to find the best solution to a problem with multiple constraints, such as maximizing profit or minimizing costs. It systematically examines possible solutions by moving along the edges of a geometrical shape (the feasible region) defined by constraints. By evaluating corner points, the method improves the solution until no better option exists, ensuring that the optimal solution is found efficiently. It's widely used in fields like economics, logistics, and operations research to make informed decisions based on quantitative data.
