MathOptimizer Professional: Key Features and Illustrative Applications

Integrated scientific-technical computing (ISTC) environments play an increasing role in advanced systems modeling and optimization. MathOptimizer Professional (MOP) has been recently developed to solve nonlinear optimization problems formulated in the ISTC system Mathematica. We introduce this software package, and review its key functionality and options. MOP is then used to solve illustrative circle packing problems, including both well-frequented models and a new (more difficult) model-class.
