Before the Karmarkar method, linear equations could be solved only in a cumbersome fashion, ironically known as the simplex method, devised by Mathematician George Dantzig in 1947.

But the method is slow, and it works only when there are merely a few thousand variables to sort through. Says Karmarkar...
