This self-contained book on optimization is designed to serve a variety of purposes. It will prove useful both as a textbook for undergraduate and firstyear graduate-level courses as well as a reference book for mathematicians, engineers and applied scientists interested in a careful exposition of this fascinating and useful branch of mathematics. Students, mathematicians and practitioners alike can profit from an approach which treats central topics of optimization in a concise, comprehensive and modern way. The book is fresh in conception and lucid in style and will appeal to anyone who has a genuine interest in optimization. The mutually beneficial interaction of theory and practice is presented in a stimulating manner. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe states: “All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.”
