AMPL, developed at Bell Laboratories, is a powerful, yet easy-to-use modeling environment for problems in linear, nonlinear, network, and integer programming. Users can formulate optimization models and analyze solutions using common algebraic notation; the computer manages the interface to advanced optmizers (CPLEX 3.0, MINOS 5.5, and solvers by Frontline Systems). In less advanced programming software, students must write out every variable and constraint explicitly, but AMPL's powerful command environment and language processor encourages creative responses to modeling assignments. AMPL for DOS and AMPL Plus for Windows are full-featured versions of the AMPL and optimizer software that accepts problems up to 300 variables and 300 constraints. Students have full access to algorithmic options because the AMPL Student Edition works just like the professional editions. Classroom skills transfer directly to the job environment.

A Great Companion for Great Software,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ampl: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming (The Scientific Press series) (Hardcover)
Most software "companions" (more than a manual...not quite a book) really do not do justice to the software. Quite the contrary for the AMPL guide. AMPL (the language) is a *very* powerful and *very* easy to use Optimization package. It interfaces with most of the major solvers. Users program in AMPL which is more or less pseudocode and then solve LP, nonlinear, combinatorial, integer, etc. programs. Unlike most software packages, it is both robust and easy to use. Likewise with the companion/book. There are many great, easy to follow examples, and it clearly explains the intrecacies of the language. A must use software and most own book for anyone doing any optimization work.

The AMPL bible,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: AMPL: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming (Hardcover)
If you're using or learning how to use AMPL, fret no more. This is the only book AMPL users should have. Its comprehensive, and gives a lot of good examples. Ideal for both beginner and advance AMPL programmers. You end up using the index in the back for reference after you've become more familiar with AMPL. There's isnt another AMPL book out there. This is THE ONE.
