and can be for the auxiliary problem, so final seemed like a suitable
choice to me, but perhaps there are better alternatives.
yes, certainly "final dictionary" (without quotes) is an established
terminology in simplex method,
but you **really** do not want to use
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Solution "Final Solution"], and "final
answer" is too close to the latter, and is not established terminology
anyway.

visibility (and testing!) and there are efforts to make Sage better for
undergraduate teaching, so it didn't seem to me that this one will be
inappropriate. Of course, I am biased, so I'll be happy to repackage if
necessary.
As a module, it would not belong to {{{sage/numerical/}}} (redesigning it
as a backend to Sage LP functionality seems to be like way too much work
for little gain, although I'm not 100% sure). Perhaps one can create
{{{sage/teaching/}}} or something like this, for this kind of material,
but this should be discussed and voted upon in sage-devel, I think.
