Dear Kai Ahrens, My name's Leandro Silveira and I'm a Brazilian computer programmer just trying to find something nice to do. While visiting OpenOffice.org website, I got interested in doing some contributing work. Actually, the task below interested me because I just love Optimization, Mathematics, Operations Research, and Engineering. Besides, some time ago I did some research about GRG (Generalized Reduced Gradient), the former computer algorithm used by Microsoft Excel to solve and optimize the results of a set of Linear Independent Equations. So... I'm writing for further information on this task... Yours, -- Leandro S. M. da Silva (11) 9271.7206 Blog: http://leandrosms.blogspot.com Site: http://www.geocities.com/leandrosms.geo
*OpenOffice.org Calc: Creating a solver component* *Summary/Comments* A solver component modifies a range of input cells within a spreadsheet with the approach to track the results of this input changes. Goal of this process is to find an optimal set of input values to satisfy given constraints. An UI is to be created to set the input cells and the input constraints. *Contact* - [email protected] - Kai.Ahrens at sun.com
