When should I use a solver for IP and MIP and can I just use a library from Python, R, Matlab, etc…?
Are there any rules of thumb for figuring out when you need to use a solver like Gurobi or CPLEX, and when you can just solve you problems directly with a Python, R, or Matlab package?
Is it just a ...
