Description for Optimization: Insights and Applications
Hardback. Presents an introduction to optimization through the use of illustrations and applications. This book focuses on analytically solving optimization problems with a finite number of continuous variables. It also provides introductions to classical and modern numerical methods of optimization and to dynamic optimization. Series: Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 680 pages, 106 line illus. BIC Classification: PBU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 242 x 165 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1148.
This self-contained textbook is an informal introduction to optimization through the use of numerous illustrations and applications. The focus is on analytically solving optimization problems with a finite number of continuous variables. In addition, the authors provide introductions to classical and modern numerical methods of optimization and to dynamic optimization. The book's overarching point is that most problems may be solved by the direct application of the theorems of Fermat, Lagrange, and Weierstrass. The authors show how the intuition for each of the theoretical results can be supported by simple geometric figures. They include numerous applications through the use of ... Read more

Reviews for Optimization: Insights and Applications
"The authors provide a very nice and interesting textbook on the theory and the application of mathematical optimization... The book is written as well as for beginners and for experts... Both types of readers can profit from the given shortcuts and royal roads which jump over some theoretical explanations and lead directly to the applications."
