About the Book Optimization is a comprehensive textbook which has grown out of the collective experience of the authors in teaching the course over the years. The introductory text provides undergraduate and graduate students with a concise and practical introduction to the primary concepts and techniques of optimization. With a strong emphasis on basic concepts and techniques throughout, the book explains the theory behind each technique as simply as possible, along with illustrations and worked examples.

Salient Features
