Initializing help system before first use

Whom this book is intended for

This book is an ideal starting point for software evaluators as it gives an overview of the various Xpress products and shows how to get up to speed quickly through experimenting with the models discussed via a high-level language used in a graphical environment.

Starting from a simple linear model, every chapter adds new features to it. First time users are taken in small steps from the textual description, via the mathematical model to a complete application (Chapter 9) or the implementation of a solution heuristic that involves some more advanced optimization tasks (Chapter 8).

The variety of topics covered may also help occasional users to quickly refresh their knowledge of Mosel, Workbench, BCL and the Optimizer.
