3d modelers would like to have a word with you.

Part of the reason why linear programming does need t get used as often is that there are no industry standard software implementation that is not atrociously priced. Same deal with Mathematica.

3D modelling is mostly linear algebra, not linear programming, which is an entirely different set of algorithms.

Oh I mentioned it in the context of mesh geometries, tesselations.
