Dissertação (Mestrado em Matemática em Rede Nacional) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Catalão, 2014.http://repositorio.ufcat.edu.br/tede/handle/tede/3883This research presents a new approach that aims to introduce linear programming into the high school taking into account the teaching techniques, teacher and student profiles, and the flexibility of the curriculum. The context of the linear programming involves problems with two or three variables, since problems with many variables cannot be easily considered in a high school curriculum, especially due to the time required to solve such problems. The approach is developed under an algebraic point of view, in which the linear problem‟s solutions are obtained by a resolution of systems of linear equations. The approach also considers a numerical and computer simulation software, denominated Octave®, in order to solve those systems of linear equations and, consequently, this software may be used as a tool that allows extending such approach to solve linear programming problems with several decision variables.application/pdfAcesso AbertoEnsino médioSistema de equações linearesProgramação linearSoftwareHigh schoolSystem of linear equationsLinear programmingSoftwareCIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::MATEMATICADissertação
