A Gentle Introduction to Linear Programming in Python
summary
Uses Python 2.7 and the PuLP library to build and solve integer and continuous linear programs; first model maximizes profit for cupcakes and cream puffs with 800 baking hours / 350 frosting hours, profits $2.85 and $3.15 each, and returns an optimal solution (coded as integers). A second model minimizes ingredient cost for 275 premium and 450 standard granola pouches using oats, cashews, honey, raisins and list comprehensions, yields an optimal feasible solution and prints total cost ($1,346).
