Wonderfully clear. Explains conventions of problem set-up that others take for granted. Explains important features of theorems while remaining light on proofs. Full of examples, many of workaday nature. Gives short, useful, almost algorithmic approaches to problem solving. Since my prof likes to present mostly proofs in class, this book completes the picture with a more practical approach. I feel lucky to have found it.
must have book!

I really liked this book. The book stresses the fundamentals really well and explains ths evolution of current methods in an organized manner. The section on Lagrange multipliers and why they are needed is extremely useful in the understanding of method of feasible directions. All the concepts regarding search directions, contraints and gradient related issues are explained. Students will like the field of optimization once they read and study this book! There are lots of examples that help in understanding the concepts. I use the book all the time.
