In [1] LaTeX is used as a modeling tool for entering Mathematical Programming models.
Not sure if this works well in practice. The model in the above picture was entered as:
\text{minimize} \sum\limits_{i,j}^{}(c_{i,j}x_{i,j})\\ \text{subject to:}\\ \sum\limits_{j}^{}(x_{i,j}) \leq a_{i} \quad \forall i\\ \sum\limits_{i}^{}*x_{i,j}) \geq \b_{j} \quad \forall j\\ x \in \mathbb R_+\\

- One of the things I am missing is: data manipulation capabilities (most of my models do serious data manipulation before I arrive at the actual model equations).
- Large models are not easily expressed as a single LaTeX equation
- Reporting is missing
