1 Linear Programming Problem Linear programming is used for obtaining the most optimal solution for a problem with given constraints. In linear programming, we formulate our real life problem into a mathematical model. A linear programming problem may be defined as the problem of maximizing or min- imizing a linear function subject to linear constraints. For example, model for maximize the profit or minimize waste of time
2 Transportation Problem The transportation problem is a special type of linear programming problem where the objective is to minimize the cost of distributing a product from a number of sources or origins to a number of destinations For example, this method help us to find out next possible location for storage such that we can reduce transportation expanse
3 Assignment and Replacement Problems An assignment problem is a particular case of transportation problem where the objective is to assign a number of resources to an equal number of activities so as to minimize total cost or maximize total profit of allocation. For example, this method help us to indentify time when replacement of machine is needed so that we can prevent from waste of money (money expanses for repairing the machines)
4 PERT and CPM Techniques PERT and CPM Techniques is used to assist the project manager in scheduling the activities (i.e., when should each activity start).

(Ex: Coca-Cola Production line)

1 Function Limit and Continuity A technical definition of a function is: a relation from a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one output. Limits are essential to calculus (and mathematical analysis in general) and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals. In mathematics, a continuous function is a function for which sufficiently small changes in the input result in arbitrarily small changes in the output. For Example, Function of Height and weight gives the idea about change in one variable with change in others.

It is also known as the product of the probability of an event occurring, denoted P(x), and the value corresponding with the actual observed occurrence of the event. Moments in mathematical statistics involve a basic calculation. These calculations can be used to find a probability distribution’s mean, variance, and skewness .For Example, Average weight of student in particular class.
4 Negative Binomial and Geometric Distribution Negative binomial regression is a type of generalized linear model in which the dependent variable is a count of the number of times an event occurs The geometric distribution is a special case of the negative binomial distribution.
