The author's extensive teaching experience is reflected in hisupbeat, relaxed writing style and preesntation. (Short BookReviews, V21, No1, April 2001)

"...accessible to people who have neither formal mathematicaltraining nor any background in optimization...this text could beuseful for an introductory class on optimization..." (SIAM Review,Vol. 43, No. 3)

Analysten sehen sich heutzutage zunehmend der Aufgabe gegenüber, den optimalen Weg zum Erreichen eines Ziels unter Berücksichtigung von Randbedingungen zu finden. Dieses Buch berücksichtigt neben den klassischen Optimierungsansätzen der Infinitesimalrechnung auch neuere iterative Verfahren. Algebraische Ergebnisse werden geometrischen Interpretationen gegenübergestellt, wobei viel Wert auf die Entwicklung der mathematischen Intuition gelegt wird. Mit über 200 anschaulichen Abbildungen.
