I hear you. :) I must admit I haven't had a chance to work on mine for the past month, probably for the same reason as yours. Mine will at least cover the UI part, and max/min optimization part for linear and non-linear, but not for "exact value" optimization i.e. the one that determines an optimal condition when a target value is specified (this is what you are working on, is it not?). As it turned out, the acutal optimization algorithms were not the toughest part of the game, but t's the UI+UNO part (at least in my impression). I'm pretty much done with the dialog portion of it. What I'm working on right now is transforming user-supplied data into the standard form of linear model. This is probably the most difficult part in my estimate. Once that is done, I will start porting my optimization algorithms from Python to C++. > We probably better choose one project on which everyone may work. True. But at this point I must say it would be difficult to share the code. Because I do a lot of trials and errors which end up changing my code structure almost every hour.
