• A study guide for basic math courses.
• A quick review of basic set theory.
• MthSc 102/207
• Investigating Secant Lines with the TI-83
• MthSc 810/813
• Here's the syllabus for MthSc 813, spring 1999.

• Information about AMPL and student binaries (but without solvers) for several platforms are available in the AMPL directory at Netlib and at the APML Web site.
• There is a listing of errata at the page for Nash and Sofer, Linear and Nonlinear Programming.
• Here is the software (and other stuff) for R. Vanderbei, Linear Programming: Foundations and Extensions.
• The following sites are of general interest:
  • LP and NLP Frequently-Asked Questions lists (FAQs)
  • Harvey Greenberg's Mathematical Programming Glossary
  • Mike Trick's Operations Research page.
