Google Earth
Google Earth is a virtual globe, geographical program created by Google. The program uses digital elevation model (DEM) data collected by a NASA space shuttle to create the 3D map. With Google Earth, viewers can view satellite imagery of large portions of the globe. Users can also explore ocean topography, and switch to street view which enables someone to explore roads as if they were in a car. New features of Google Earth allow a user to explore regions of the moon, Mars, and constellations in the sky. New features are being added and existing features enhanced frequently.
Google Earth is available for free download here. A Professional version with enhanced geo-coding, map-making, and GIS features is available as well.
CPLEX
CPLEX is an optimization software package, which helps users solve integer programming problems, linear programming problems, and many more.
The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer solves integer programming problems, very large linear programming problems using either primal or dual variants of the simplex method or the barrier interior point method, convex and non-convex quadratic programming problems, and convex quadratically constrained problems (solved via second-order cone programming, or SOCP).
The CPLEX Optimizer has a modeling layer called Concert that provides interfaces to the C++, C#, and Java languages. There is a Python language interface based on the C interface. Additionally, connectors to Microsoft Excel and MATLAB are provided. Finally, a stand-alone Interactive Optimizer executable is provided for debugging and other purposes.
The CPLEX Optimizer is accessible through independent modeling systems such as AIMMS, AMPL, GAMS, MPL, OpenOpt, OptimJ and TOMLAB. In addition to that AMPL provides an interface to the CPLEX CP Optimizer.
