Product Description
"Numerical Optimization" presents a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the most effective methods in continuous optimization. It responds to the growing interest in optimization in engineering, science, and business by focusing on the methods that are best suited to practical problems. Drawing on their experiences in teaching, research, and consulting, the authors have produced a textbook that will be of interest to students and practitioners alike. Each chapter begins with the basic concepts and builds up gradually to the best techniques currently available. Because of the emphasis on practical methods, as well as the extensive illustrations and exercises, the book is accessible to a wide audience. It can be used as a graduate text in engineering, operations research, mathematics, computer science, and business. It also serves as a handbook for researchers and practitioners in the field. Above all, the authors have strived to produce a text that is pleasant to read, informative, and rigorous - one that reveals both the beautiful nature of the discipline and its practical side. MMOR, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2001 observes: "The book looks very suitable to be used in an graduate-level course in optimization for students in mathematics, operations research, engineering, and others. Moreover, it seems to be very helpful to do some self-studies in optimization, to complete own knowledge and can be a source of new ideas...I recommend this excellent book to everyone who is interested in optimization problems."

It's a goob book. Easy to read, written algorithms and a wide range of themes that go from Linear Programing to Nonlinear Optimization.
 The best book for engineers that want to implement too October 2, 2008
The book is quite complete and goes directly to the point. if you ever need optimization in your design you will find it here. Simple and well presented. It has enough details about algorithmic performance and description that should be enough to implement. It is a book that you will never regret having it in your library. If you want something more theoretical use Nonlinear Programming by Bertsekas. If you want to use optimization in your programs use this.
Great book in optimization September 28, 2008
I think this is a book that teaches optimization methods in a clear and concise manner, of course you migth need a strong math background to understand the proofs. I wish I had more time to try all the problems in it.

I can't give a feedback for a book (coz' I bought it for my husband and don't read it myself), but I definitely recommend buying from Amazon!!!
