Linear Programming Graphical Method (Part 1)

In this video, I explain the fundamentals of Linear Programming in a simple and easy-to-follow way. We start with the basic concept of linear programming and then move step by step through its key components, including the objective function, decision variables, and constraints. I also explain the meaning of LHS and RHS in constraints and discuss the basic assumptions/rules of linear programming such as linearity, continuity, certainty, and non-negativity. This lecture is especially helpful for students studying Operations Research, Quantitative Techniques, Management Science, Business Mathematics, and Optimization Models. If you want to build a strong conceptual foundation in Linear Programming before solving numerical problems, this video will be useful for you.
