Consortium for Mathematics and its applications

COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM) are international contests for high school students and college undergraduates. The contests challenge teams of up to three students to analyze, model, solve, and present solution reports to an open-ended application problem. In these contests research, analytics, and applied intelligence are just as important as time management and problem selection. Are you and your team up to it?

A mathematical optimization solver for large-scale optimization problems. It is independently developed by Cardinal Operations, and it includes high-performance solvers for LP, MIP, SDP, (MI)SOCP, convex (MI)QP, convex (MI)QCP and exponential cone programming.

The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer solves integer programming problems, very large[3] linear programming problems using either primal or dual variants of the simplex method or the barrier interior point method, convex and non-convex quadratic programming problems, and convex quadratically constrained problems (solved via second-order cone programming, or SOCP).
