Some judicious instructor intervention may occasionally be neccesary, but this text facilitates a student centered, deep and engaging learning experience.
While it may be possible for a student to work through this text on their own, it is designed to facilitate discussion between students, and between the class and the instructor. There is truly where this material come to life.
I highly recommend, if possible, projecting the html version of this text on a screen, and for students to use whatever computing devices they have available, to access this text, use the provided tools, and collaborate on working through this material.
Best wishes to everyone reading this text on your grand adventure through linear optimization!
