Linear and non-linear optimization solvers designed for OpenOffice.org Calc.

IntroductionThe goal of this project is to develop a Calc add-on component that solves a constrained linear or non-linear programming model for an optimum solution. An optimum solution in this case is defined as a feasible point that either maximizes or minimizes the objective function while satisfying all given constraints.

Please note that the Go-oo variant of OpenOffice.org ships scsolver as the default Solver for Calc. So if you use Go-oo, you don't need to install scsolver as a separate extension package.
