Simplex Algorithm (Big M method)

PowerPoint to teach A Level Further Maths Decision/Discrete Maths Option: the Big M method for the Simplex Algorithm.

Primarily written for Edexcel but suitable for OCR specifications. Complete, step-by-step approach with worked examples of A Level standard. Format is such that students can also use as revision at their own pace and includes a handy flowchart for revision.

The full set of 16 PowerPoints in this series cover the whole of the Edexcel D1 course:
