This has a section on linear programming under the chapter on minimization and maximization of functions. There is some licensing strangeness around the source code published in the book, although if you are only using it for academic or personal purposess then there are few restrictions. Supposedly you can download the whole book for free from their web site at: http://www.nr.com/nronline_switcher.html Good luck, -brian -- Brian O'Shea boshea@ricochet.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
