Recognize the canonical and standard forms and know the transformations
Linearize an objective function of the form maximum of a minimum or minimum of a maximum
Solve graphically an LP with two variables:
Know the definition of a basis, a basic and a non-basic variable a basic solution and a feasible basic solution
Make the connection between the graphical representation and the basic solutions (find the point corresponding to a basic solution and conversely)
Know the relation between the extreme points of the feasible region and the feasible basic solutions
Know the notion of pivoting and neighbor basis
Before pivoting, recognize the variable that can enter the basis in order to improve the current solution
While pivoting, know which variable can leave the basis
Master the pivoting algorithm and be able to interpret it graphically
