I just watched The Dollar Game - Numberphile, in which a game involving graphs is presented. I recommend you watch the video for complete information. The game involves a graph with integer values on its nodes, positive and negative. For instance, the following graph: Each node corresponds to a person, the node value is the amount of money that person has, the edges are the people that person can give or take money from.

Last week I had the pleasure of being invited to the Second annual JuMP-dev workshop, which happened in June 27-29, 2018 at Bordeaux, France. I’ve presented the packages from the Julia Smooth Optimizers organization, and had a very good time meeting with the JuMP developers. For those still unaware, JuMP is a modelling language for Mathematical Programming written in Julia. It provides access to a few different solvers for many kinds of problems, and it works inside of Julia, so one can enjoy the advantages of having a robust language if there is a need for advanced usage.
