Linear Programming (LP) is one of the most powerful techniques in optimization, with applications ranging from supply chain management to financial planning, scheduling, and decision-making under constraints. While many learners focus on memorizing formulas or directly using software to solve LP problems, this approach often leads to shallow understanding and limited problem-solving flexibility. The real strength in mastering Linear Programming lies in developing deep conceptual clarity — understanding why the methods work, not just how to apply them. 1. Moving Beyond Mechanical Calculations Many learners start LP by directly applying the Simplex method, graphical methods, or software tools. While these methods are important, they can feel like “black boxes” if the underlying principles are not understood. A conceptual foundation explains: Why optimization problems can be represented as linear models. How constraints define a feasible region. Why the optimal solut...

  Optimization Techniques — Why This Is a Life Skill, Not Just Another Course When most people hear the term Optimization Techniques , they picture a college syllabus, some mathematical models, and a final exam to pass. But that’s a dangerously narrow view. Optimization is not just a subject — it’s the art and science of making the best possible choice when resources are limited and trade-offs are inevitable . It is the invisible force behind better decision-making, whether you’re: Allocating your budget in a business Scheduling production in a factory Planning a travel itinerary with minimal cost and time Balancing health, work, and personal life In other words, optimization is a life skill . It’s about systematically finding the smartest path forward — in professional projects, in entrepreneurship, and even in daily living. The difference between someone who has studied optimization and someone who has mastered it is huge: The former can solve textbook prob...

If someone has to play a game like cricket in which bowlers ball, batsman bats and fielders field, but there is no score, no record and no competition, this would become a boring activity for players and there would probably be nobody interested in such activities. Activities are same as game of cricket but the thrill and excitement are brought in through numbers by quantification and competition.     Same holds good in study. A bit of quantification and gamification can do wonders. For example, while solving mathematics questions from books, consider one run for successfully solving a question and a wicket in failing to solve a question. Solve the questions one after other. So, if you solve 25 questions successfully and then fail to solve one, the score becomes 25 for 1. You can have test match kind of scoring with two teams in which you are solving numerical questions and maintaining score based on questions solved or unsolved. It becomes fun and great way of learning when y...

  Be Connected with Your Roots -- Back to Basics My parents used to take us to our village (ancestors house) and nearby quite often. The lesson was to be connected with the roots. Being with our own people there, listening to them, understanding their way of living, embracing their way of caring etc. used to create so many valuable memories that I still consider those experiences on the top of the list of valuable experiences. These memories provide new energy, new way of looking at various situations and help in understanding the nuances of various challenges in life better. This doesn't mean that one should leave his present projects of life and go back to the roots. But, going back to the roots (physically or mentally) provides such understandings that helps in handling present challenges better. We take few examples from Cricket and Mathematics to substantiate it. Here, being connected with roots translates to going back to the basics.     The same applies everywhere....

  Be in Good Company This article is based on some of the advises given by my father during my school days. The motivation to write this came while seeing a 50 years old photo captured in his camera. Due to privacy reason, I have modified that photo using AI and shared it here. Happy faces in that photo seem to be in good company and enjoying their moments. It can be felt that the kind of positive energy it generates can make challenging tasks look easy.     When it comes to study, being in good company doesn't mean about school, teachers and friends only, but it also includes books, other learning resources and the questions that one practices. You may not have much choices while selecting school, teachers or friends but selection of books, other learning resources and questions for practice are completely in your control. A good company makes study enjoying, helps in setting and achieving right goals, facilitates deep and long lasting learning and leads to a satisfying ...
