Agenda

  1. Number talk: Estimation Duels — square centimetres of cardboard in a cereal box: closest estimate wins
  2. Random groups: the bus-fare problem — raise the fare and riders leave; what fare earns the most revenue?
  3. Discuss: When Will I Use This — today’s answer is “at work, verbatim”
  4. Consolidate: optimization beyond geometry — cost, yield, revenue, distance; the playbook holds
  5. Practise: Optimization Practice
