# IBM® Decision Optimization Tutorials for Python (DOcplex)
Welcome to the IBM® Decision Optimization Tutorials.
Licensed under the Apache License v2.0.
With these tutorials, you will learn the concepts of Mathematical Optimization.
This library is composed of 2 Jupyter notebooks:
* Linear Programming discovery
* Beyond Linear Programming
These notebooks are part of **[Prescriptive Analytics for Python](http://ibmdecisionoptimization.github.io/docplex-doc/)**
They require either an [installation of CPLEX Optimizers](http://ibmdecisionoptimization.github.io/docplex-doc/getting_started.html) or they can be run on [IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service](https://www.ibm.com/products/cloud-pak-for-data/as-a-service/) (Sign up for a [free IBM Cloud account](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/registration/stepone?context=wdp&apps=all>)
and you can start using `IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service` right away).
CPLEX is available on <i>IBM Cloud Pack for Data</i> and <i>IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service</i>:
- <i>IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service</i>: Depends on the runtime used:
- <i>Python 3.x</i> runtime: Community edition
- <i>Python 3.x + DO</i> runtime: full edition
- <i>Cloud Pack for Data</i>: Community edition is installed by default. Please install the `DO` addon in `Watson Studio Premium` for the full edition
Additionnaly, you can download [installation of CPLEX Optimizers](http://ibmdecisionoptimization.github.io/docplex-doc/getting_started.html):
- You can get a free [Community Edition](http://www-01.ibm.com/software/websphere/products/optimization/cplex-studio-community-edition)
of CPLEX Optimization Studio, with limited solving capabilities in term of problem size.
- Faculty members, research professionals at accredited institutions can get access to an unlimited version of CPLEX through the
[IBM® Academic Initiative](http://www-304.ibm.com/ibm/university/academic/pub/page/ban_ilog_programming).
