About this title

Synopsis

An accessible introduction to the many aspects of optimization, written by an eminent figure in the field. Covers both unconstrained and constrained optimization, the latter being divided into a section on linear programming, and one on non-linear and discrete methods. Treatment is self-contained, requiring no detailed mathematical knowledge. Concentrates on practical use of techniques, rather than on mathematical proofs (although many mathematical details are included) and illustrates many applications to industry. Provides numerous examples, explaining how each method works and where to apply it.
