Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

An important class of mathematical programming problems is the scheduling of manufacturing and transportation systems. In many cases, the independent variables which describe the manufacturing system ...

There is a general sense that programming is related to math and that people who are successful in math are often successful at programming. For math teachers, a natural question arises: “What is the ...

This paper offers a qualitative theoretical analysis of the error that may arise when a linear programming calculation is used to solve a problem involving some ...

Last year, I started writing about my experiences taking courses on machine learning and artificial intelligence. One of the big, unexpected problems I ran into was calculus and linear algebra. I've ...

Imagine it’s a student’s first day of ninth grade in the San Francisco Unified School District in 2012. Let’s call her Veronica. On her schedule is a math class full of other ninth graders repeating ...
