This second edition builds upon its prior edition's foundation, showcasing new material linked to convex analysis and non smooth optimization. It presents a modern treatment of optimization and Hadamard semi differential calculus while remaining at a level that is accessible to undergraduate students. Appropriate as both a textbook and a reference, it includes exercises related to problems in such fields as engineering, mechanics, medicine, physics, and economics along with answers.
