Optimatization: Linear Programming

Presented at ToorCamp 2014, Unknown date/time (Unknown duration)

Hackers like to optimize, whether it involves building robots or writing shell scripts. Linear programming is just a fancy word for some mathematical tools to optimize cost given some constraints. This talk is designed to be an introduction to linear programming and some tools, and will hopefully convince some of you that not all math is scary and can actually be useful in your personal projects.
