"Linear Optimization: A Geometric Inquiry Course" is an inquiry based learning text for an undergraduate course in linear optimization.  Taking a geometric vantage point to build intuition, students work through a sequence of activities through which they discover and build the theory and concepts of the course.  Numerous applications are also covered in the same manner.  To reinforce the geometric and intuition building dimensions of the course, supplements in the form of videos and interactive elements are available through the open source, freely available online companion text.
