Operations Research / Optimization
Operations research from its exact optimum outward — starting with linear programming as geometry, where a two-variable LP's optimum sits at a rational vertex of the feasible polytope, proven by the constraints themselves rather than read off a solver's float, with every value pinned and every diagram validated.
