MATA33H3S Calculus for Management II Winter 2022

Syllabus and Lecture Schedule - 2 pages

We will try to follow the schedule below in the lectures. However, it can happen that a particular
lecture might be somewhat behind or ahead of the schedule on occasion. This can be caused by
slight variations on emphasis on different topics and by reasons beyond control (i.e. video-taping
tecnical issues, Covid-19 pandemic).

linear function, feasible set (region), feasible points, types of feasible set (non-empty, standard,
bounded), Fundamental Theorem of Linear Programming. (Sections 7.1 and 7.2).
