+GLPK is a set of routines written in ANSI C and organized in the form
+of a callable library. This package is intended for solving large-scale
+linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
+other related problems.
+
+GLPK includes the following main components:
+
+* implementation of the primal/dual simplex method;
+
+* implementation of the primal-dual interior point method;
+
+* implementation of the branch-and-bound procedure (based on the dual
+ simplex method);
+
+* application program interface (API);
+
+* GLPK/L, a modeling language intended for writing LP/MIP models;
+
+* GLPSOL, a stand-alone program intended for solving LP/MIP problems
+ either prepared in the MPS format or written in the GLPK/L modeling
+ language.
