<em>simplex</em>(&lt;max/min&gt;,&lt;objective function&gt;, 
{&lt;linear inequalities&gt;}) 
<P>
<P>
<P>
&lt;max/min&gt; :- either max or min (signifying maximize and 
			 minimize). 
<P>
<P>
&lt;objective function&gt; :- the function you are maximizing or 
			 minimizing. 
<P>
<P>
&lt;linear inequalities&gt; :- the constraint inequalities. Each one must 
 be of the form sum of variables ( 
 &lt;=,=,&gt;=) number. 
<P>
<P>
<em>simplex</em>applies the revised simplex algorithm to find the 
optimal(either maximum or minimum) value of the 
&lt;objective function&gt; under the linear inequality constraints. 
<P>
<P>
It returns {optimal value,{ values of variables at this optimal}}. 
<P>
<P>
The algorithm implies that all the variables are non-negative.
