Introduction to Optimization Hardback
by Pablo Pedregal
Part of the Texts in Applied Mathematics series
Hardback
Description
This undergraduate textbook introduces students of science and engineering to the fascinating field of optimization.
It is a unique book that brings together the subfields of mathematical programming, variational calculus, and optimal control, thus giving students an overall view of all aspects of optimization in a single reference.
As a primer on optimization, its main goal is to provide a succinct and accessible introduction to linear programming, nonlinear programming, numerical optimization algorithms, variational problems, dynamic programming, and optimal control.
Prerequisites have been kept to a minimum, although a basic knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations is assumed.
