  <body><![CDATA[<p>Craig Tovey, professor
in the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE), recently
explained to a class of ISyE students the column geometry of the simplex
method. </p>

<p>What does a
simplex have to do with the simplex method? Why is a pivot called a pivot? Why
did George Dantzig wait a year before trying to use his own algorithm, and why
did he finally stop waiting? Learn the answers by watching this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgiaTechISyE?feature=mhee#p/a/CE3CBF553CA626E5/0/Ci1vBGn9yRc">video</a>.</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
