"""
Python implementation of the simplex algorithm for solving linear programs in
tabular form with
- `>=`, `<=`, and `=` constraints and
- each variable `x1, x2, ...>= 0`.
See https://gist.github.com/imengus/f9619a568f7da5bc74eaf20169a24d98 for how to
convert linear programs to simplex tableaus, and the steps taken in the simplex
algorithm.
