Abstract
This chapter introduces the reader to algebraic modeling languages and their role in the mathematical optimization community. It focuses on the differences of procedural languages such as C, Fortran, matlab and others in comparison to the declarative algebraic modeling languages. This is more than a language or syntax issue but has deep roots in the concept of modeling and university teaching.
