In the StatQuest, Optimization with Linear Programming (and the Simplex Algorithm), Main Ideas!!!, we learned the Main Ideas of Linear Programming and the Simplex Algorithm. Now let's dive into the nitty gritty details of how it's done, one step at a time. BAM!

NOTE: This StatQuest is brought to you by Gurobi, the solver trusted by experts. To learn more see: gurobi.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=statquest-video

Also, Gurobi is free for academics: gurobi.com/academics?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_content=statquest-video

If you want to check out the original version of the second (fancier) example, here's the link to Daniel D. Suthers's webpage for a course at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa: https://www2.hawaii.edu/~suthers/courses/ics311f20/Notes/Topic-21.html
