Introduction to the Theory of Optimization in Euclidean Space

"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."

"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."

"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"
