Review

By creating an elegant unifying framework for a broad range of subjects, Rockafellar's book represents an important event in the evolution of optimization theory. Besides its creative aspect, the book is thoughtful, well written, and packed with a wealth of material. The large number of exercises (a total of 479!), most of them extensions and elaborations of the theory, enhance its value as a class textbook, and provide fertile grounds for self-study and inspiration. Every student and practitioner of optimization should take a careful look at this book. --Review by Dimitri P. Bertsekas (SIAM Review, 1985)
