Subject outline
Linear Programming and Probability is a subject with many important real word applications. It is suitable for students taking majors in mathematics, statistics, physics or engineering. Linear Programming involves maximising and minimising a linear function subject to a finite number of linear constraints. This subject also gives an introduction to Game Theory, which deals with decision making in a competitive environment; game theory uses ideas from probability theory combined with the tools of linear programming. The subject also details how linear programming can also used to perform special probability computations, such a regression, and selection of probability distributions.
