Introduction to the Theory of Optimization in Euclidean Space

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Introduction to the Theory of Optimization in Euclidean Space is intended to provide students with a robust introduction to optimization in Euclidean space, demonstrating the theoretical aspects of the subject whilst also providing clear proofs and applications. Students are taken progressively through the development of the proofs, where they have the occasion to practice tools of differentiation (Chain rule, Taylor formula) for functions of several variables in abstract situations. Throughout this book, students will learn the necessity of referring to important results established in advanced Algebra and Analysis courses. Features Rigorous and practical, offering proofs and applications of theorems Suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduate students on mathematics or economics courses, or as reference for graduate-level readers Introduces complex principles in a clear, illustrative fashion

Rezensionen

"The textbook is relatively compact and written in a lecture note style that would be suitable for either a course or an independent study. Each mathematical theorem and its proof are complemented by examples and exercises that are mostly concrete and computational.
[. . .] This book distinguishes itself among undergraduate optimization books by organically picking up where multivariable calculus leaves off, with regards to both topic selection and level of rigor and abstraction."
-MAA Reviews

"This book fills in the gap between the advanced, theoretical books on abstract Hilbert spaces, and the more practical books intended for Engineers, where theorems lack proofs. The author presents many theorems, along with their proofs, in a simple way and provides many examples and graphical illustrations to allow students grasp the material in an easy and quick way."
-Professor Salim Aissa Salah Messaoudi, University of Sharjah, UAE

"This book, part of the CRC Series on Operations Research, is designed for undergraduate courses in operations research and mathematics. It starts at a fairly basic level, with open and closed sets, functions of more than one variable, surfaces in three dimensions, partial differentiation.

The book is well produced. [. . .] It is worth consideration as a text for appropriate courses"
