Why should I change?ĪSPE can be used as a bridge between the old and new Excel Solvers. I've been teaching with the standard Solver in Excel. In a nutshell, because it can simplify your life, save classroom time, and enrich your students' experience with optimization, simulation and more.Ĭompared to software alternatives, ASPE offers you far more functionality and power at a far better academic price, with far better support for you, your IT staff, and your students. Why should I consider teaching with Analytic Solver Platform for Education (ASPE)? OK, just one more question: How can I evaluate ASPE myself?.It all sounds good, but I'm sure I'll find a glitch with ASPE at some point while I'm teaching.I have a model I use for teaching that exceeds one of ASPE’s problem size limits.But for our IT staff, new software always presents headaches. OK, ASPE sounds pretty good for my teaching.I'm anticipating/worrying about Excel 2013 and/or 64-bit PCs.I use CPLEX for most of my optimization models.
