    The Appolonius circle is a theorem in pure geometry. It is used in the 'method of images' in physics. And not just for ancient textbook problems either. I saw a paper in experiment…

    I work on vehicle routing for a living. Our routing engine is mostly original heuristics, no MIP. The thrust of your remarks is correct IMO. We are forced to support a large number…
