    We review Shannon’s noiseless coding theorem. We define prefix free codes and show that they can be efficiently decoded by using a binary tree. We then give Huffman’s algorithm for finding the optimal prefix free code.

    We show how to take duals for arbitrary linear programs (not just ones in canonical form). We introduce the complementary slackness. Next, we give a physics-inspired proof of strong duality. Finally, we use strong duality to prove Koenig’s theorem.
