This undergraduate textbook is written for a junior/senior level course on linear optimization. Unlike other texts, the treatment follows the "modified Moore method" approach in which examples and proof opportunities are worked into the text in order to encourage students to develop some of the content through their own experiments and arguments while they are reading the text. Additionally, the focus is on the mathematics underlying the ideas of optimizing linear functions under linear constraints and the algorithms used to solve them.
