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.

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.
