    Economics example of linear programming optimization.

    Let's say you own a company that makes bolts that are used on the International Space Station! These bolts have very specific requirements but two of the most important requirements are strength and heat resistance. NASA says that you must have a bolt that has the strength of at least X and a heat resistance of at least Y.
