"Dear TAs and students,
For two reasons: (1) some students are still struggling to solve Linear programs (LP) using Solver and (2) Solver will not be tested at our exams, I've decided to remove the "solving the LP using computers" requirement from all the homework questions, starting from Hw2 (i.e., effective immediately).
Although solving LP now is not required, you should note that solving it is probably the best way for you to figure out if your LP formulation is correct. You should also note that Solver is commonly used in practice. You probably cannot get away from it in the future. Therefore, I'll give you the excel spreadsheets for some of the homework questions in case you'd like to have them for reference. And I'd love to answer your questions related to Solver. "
