Homework O1 (that's an O for Optimization)

Step 1: 
Read about Concept Maps here:

How to Create a Concept Map
https://web.archive.org/web/20110303200149/http://library.usu.edu/instruct/tutorials/cm/CMinstruction2.htm

Some examples are at https://web.archive.org/web/20151025003734/http://people.emich.edu/jmargerum/edmt330/conceptmap.htm

Step 2:
Make a concept map of basic Linear Programming (LP) that you've learned in class so far.
Note that some concept maps don't include labels on the connectors, but I think they are often important.

Note that while software exists to create concept maps, I don't think it's worth your time to learn any particular software. Instead, just use pencil and paper, and upload a photo of it to turn it in.

Or, use "Insert->Shapes" in Excel to insert some ovals and arrows, like the way this shows:

We will be adding on to/revising this concept map in later homeworks once we've seen fancier optimization stuff.
