Discover learning content designed to help you jump-start your education in using optimization.
We suggest you start with the Linear Programming Tutorial, which provides a strong foundation for linear programming and mixed-integer linear programming. Or you can dive right in and start using the Code Examples and Jupyter Notebook Modeling Examples.
Mixed Integer Linear Programming Tutorial
In this 14-part video tutorial, Gurobi’s Sr. Technical Content Manager Pano Santos, PhD, explains the foundational principles of Mixed Integer Linear Programming. This series is useful for data scientists, computer scientists, business analysts, and systems/IT engineers who have some background in mathematical programming. You will learn why mixed-integer programming (MIP) is important, methods for solving a MIP problem, the advantages of using MIP instead of heuristics, and more.

Getting Started with Gurobi
Programming Language
While we support all major programming languages, most of our users choose our Python API for their modeling and development efforts. Even if you are currently familiar with another programming language, you may find that – like many of our other users – you are more productive using our Python API. You can learn more on our Gurobi Python Modeling and Development Environment page.
Getting Started with Gurobi
This Knowledge Base covers software installation, explains how to obtain and install a license, and provides an introduction to the Getting Started with the Gurobi API Tutorials.
Modeling Basics, LP and MIP Overviews
The Modeling Basics page offers an overview of the modeling process – from creating the conceptual model, to implementing, and finally solving it. The LP Basics and MIP Basics pages provide an overview of each problem type and highlight the algorithms used to solve each.
Example Tour
This guide takes you through the set of tasks you will likely want to perform with the Gurobi Optimizer, such as loading and solving a model, building and modifying a model, changing parameters, etc. It also contains a set of example code across a range of languages and all source code. You can view the Online Guide
Reference Manual
This manual contains documentation for the C, C++, C#, Java®, Microsoft® .NET, Python, MATLAB, and R interfaces including sections on Attributes and Parameters. You can access the Reference Manual here.
Gurobi Cloud Guide
Learn how to use the Gurobi Cloud – a remote Gurobi service via cloud computing. The Gurobi Cloud allows you to run one or more Gurobi Compute Servers without having to purchase new computers or new Gurobi licenses. You can also use cloud instances as workers for distributed optimization. Before using the Gurobi Cloud, please familiarize yourself with Gurobi Remote Services.
