This paper aims at the problems of professional structure and hierarchical structure in college admission plans, uses linear programming methods to establish mathematical models, maximizes the use of resources on the basis of completing the national enrollment plan, determines the reasonable enrollment structure and enrollment scale, and makes the enrollment plan more scientific and reasonable. In actual situations, the number of students enrolled in the school, the consumption of students, and the number of teachers are constantly changing. Therefore, the concept of fuzzy linear programming is introduced, and the constraints of the linear programming model are fuzzy optimized to obtain more reasonable results, which inspires some reasonable suggestions for colleges in formulating enrollment plans.

Modified Diet

A computational method for constructing individually acceptable diets by modifying a chosen diet to meet nutritional requirements is described. The effects on food quantities of imposing different nutrient requirements on a sample diet are demonstrated and techniques which can ensure the acceptability to the individual of the modified diet are described. The starting point in the calculation is the person's current dietary intake. This is modified using linear programming methods which make the smallest changes to the food quantities to meet specific targets. Sequential modification can be used to identify changes that are acceptable to the individual. The computer program has been developed in collaboration with practising dietitians and is in use in some leading UK hospitals.
