At Uni, we did some maths, where you had a farmer and different factors...
Like he had x amount of wheat, y amount of barley, xx amount of land and zz tractors.

You would use this maths to work out the optimal numbers to use the different factors.

Does anyone know what this maths was called?

I seem to remember that it involved matrix maths - but I could be wrong!

ThanksOmar

It sounds like linear programming to me. :D
