Description: 
        Operations Research Models & Methods (ORMM) is inspired by Paul A. Jensen's
        Excel Add-ins.  His Excel packages were last updated in 2011, and while I
        believe they do still work, his work may become outdated in a couple of ways:
        
        - Excel is not as commonly used for OR, except in settings where security is
          of the utmost concern and/or modern languages like Python, R, Julia, C, C++,
          MATLAB, AMPL, or other modeling software are not available.
        - From what I understand, Microsoft has been trying to phase out VBA and move
          to Javascript.  If this happens, this could significantly impact whether or
          not his packages will work.
        - While his website and packages are still available
          `here <https://www.me.utexas.edu/~jensen/ORMM/>`_, some sections are/may
          become unusable.  The animations rely on Flash, which is being phased out
          in google chrome and other web browsers.
        
        This python package aims to accomplish some of the same goals as Paul
        Jensen's website and add-ins did, mainly to
        
        1. Be an educational tool that shows how abstract models (linear programs,
           integer programs, nonlinear programs, etc.) can be applied to real-life
           scenarios to solve complex problems.
        2. Help the practitioner by providing modeling frameworks, methods for solving
           these models, and problem classes so a user can more easily see how they
           may be able to frame their business problem/objective through the lens of
           Operations Research.
        
        This repository contains subpackages for grouping the different types of OR
        Models & Methods.  Currently this subpackage list includes
        
        1. `mathprog`: A subpackage for mathematical programs, including linear
           programs and mixed integer linear programs.
        2. `markov`: A subpackage for discrete state markov analysis.
        3. `network`: A subpackage for network models and methods, including the
           transportation and shortest path tree problems.
