Books for ultra basic linear programming

    I'm just wondering what type of books to look for that will have a section on basic linear programming. (If I type "linear programming" into the library search all I get out is stuff that's too specific/advanced but I'm sure there are some sort of algebra books that will have a section on it.)

    How basic are we talking? There's a section on it in the ordniary level Leaving Cert. maths course. Failing that you'll get it in most decent Advanced Engineering Maths books. Try Kreyszig's, for example. It mightn't be called Linear Programming though, it could be under Optimization or something similar.

    I'm talking one step up from simply graphing the constraints. The method I have in my notes involves making a "tableau" and messing around with it!

    Here is a good three part tutorial on GLPK
    http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-glpk1/
    because it is based on examples it is easy to follow.
