A First Course in Optimization - Charles Byrne - Bog

This text is designed for a one-semester course in optimization taken by advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the mathematical sciences and engineering. It teaches students the basics of continuous optimization and helps them better understand the mathematics from previous courses. The book focuses on general problems and the underlying theory. It covers the fundamental problems of constrained and unconstrained optimization, linear and convex programming, basic iterative solution algorithms, and more general iterative optimization methods.
