Linear Relaxation: The process of removing the integer constraints from an integer programming problem to solve an easier continuous problem that provides bounds for the original.

A timetabling problem is formulated as a large integer linear programming problem in 0-1 variables. A solution method based on Lagrangean relaxation coupled with subgradient optimization is presented.

A simplified form of an algorithm for solving mixed integer linear programmes is presented. It is introduced by considering the geometry of the problem, from which most of the terminology originates.
