As a personal encounter, my boss’s wife was inside The Tannery on Boylston St. when it was held at gunpoint, and without a firearm he was helpless and couldn’t do anything to protect them (Personal Interview, Teazis). This is an example of many situations where firearms are put into the hands of those…

It is inserted into the equation simply to give a positive solution at the origin; we are artificially creating a solution: 2x1 + 4x2 - s1 + A1 = 16 2(0) + 4(0) - 0 + A1 = 16 A1 = 16 The artificial variable is somewhat analogous to a booster rocket—its purpose is to get us off the ground; but once we get started, it has no real use and thus is discarded. The artificial solution helps get the simplex process started, but we do not want it to end up in the optimal solution, because it has no real…
