The Dean of the Faculty of Science at City Science University has decided to

apply the Hungarian method in assigning lecturers to courses for the next semester. As a criterion for judging who should teach each course, the Dean reviews the past two years' teaching evaluations (which were filled out by students).  Since each of the four lecturers taught each of the four courses at one time or another during the two-year period, the Dean is able to record a course rating for each lecturer. These ratings are shown in the table below. Find the best assignment of lecturers to courses to maximize the overall teaching rating.

Lecturer

Biology

Chemistry

Physics
