Practical optimization : algorithms and engineering applications (Second edition)

This textbook provides a hands-on treatment of the subject of optimization.

A comprehensive set of problems and exercises makes it suitable for use in one or two semesters of an advanced undergraduate course or a first-year graduate course.

Each half of the book contains a full semester’s worth of complementary yet stand-alone material.

The practical orientation of the topics chosen and a wealth of useful examples also make the book suitable as a reference work for practitioners in the field. In this second edition the authors have added sections on recent innovations, techniques, and methodologies.
