Description
This project is an adaption of the culminating assessment for the 9-week Interactive Mathematics Program's "Meadows or Malls" unit. It asks students to use matrices and linear algebra to develop a recommendation for the mayor of San Francisco of how to best use 550 acres of donated land for either recreation or development. Recommendations must adhere to constraints and improvement costs given by the city council for each type of land use.
