TAMPA - Taming Mathematical Programming in APL

Explore mathematical programming techniques in APL through this conference talk from Dyalog '22. Dive into linear optimization using APL syntax, focusing on maximizing profits and minimizing costs. Learn about TAMPA, a linear programming system written in Dyalog, and its user interface built with Abacus. Follow along with practical examples, including hot tub production optimization, weed wacker procurement cost minimization, and lifeguard scheduling using integer programming. Gain insights into taming complex mathematical domains with Dyalog's app library and discover how to leverage APL for solving real-world optimization problems.
