Optimization and Approximation cover

This book provides a basic, initial resource, introducing science and engineering students to the field of optimization. It covers three main areas: mathematical programming, calculus of variations and optimal control, highlighting the ideas and concepts and offering insights into the importance of optimality conditions in each area. It also systematically presents affordable approximation methods. Exercises at various levels have been included to support the learning process.

“This book, consisting of eight chapters, provides an introduction to optimization aimed at engineering and science students. ... This book is equally suitable to those without prior knowledge in the field as well as those already familiar with the key concepts as a useful reference. The book concludes with a very useful appendix containing hints or full solutions to the exercises presented throughout the book.” (Efstratios Rappos, zbMATH 1375.90002, 2018)
