The Best Corner: Linear and Integer Programming from Dantzig's Simplex to the Solvers That Clear Power Markets
A fictional market operator's clearing engine misses its five-minute deadline on a heatwave afternoon, and a fictional logistics planner discovers her "optimal" plan ships fractional trucks. From Kantorovich's plywood trust in 1939 and Dantzig's late homework to a front-page New York Times story in 1979 and an AT&T patent on an algorithm, this is the story of the most useful algorithm most people have never heard of.
