Linear programming is one of the most significant branches of mathematics, where the theoretical and methodological foundations of solving certain problems are studied. This mathematical discipline has been widely used in recent years in various economic and technical fields, where not the last role is assigned to mathematical planning and the use of automatic calculation systems. This section of science is devoted to the study of linear optimization models. That is, linear programming is dedicated to numbers. This term was first proposed by T. Coopmans in 1951. The optimal plan of each linear program must be automatically associated with the optimal price level, that is, with objectively determined estimates.

In the process of solving such problems, for starters, it is necessary to create a model, which implies the formulation of conditions in a mathematical language. After this stage you can find a solution using the graphical method. To do this, Excel has a special function called “Solution Search”.
As already clear from the above, linear programming has a very extensive scope.
