ABSTRACT
Linear programming (LP) is a set of mathematical optimization equations that are used to solve resource allocation problems; LP provides a narrow-range estimation when a course of action definitely leads to a given result, even though the range of that result is unknown before computation of the equations. The most important aspect of LP is that it provides a framework for making projections. That is, LP forces users to determine the objectives and constraints (restrictions that affect the possible solution) associated with estimations.
