Numerical Methods and Optimization - Sergiy Butenko - Bog

This book combines the materials from introductory numerical methods and introductory optimization courses into a single text. This classroom-tested approach enriches a standard numerical methods syllabus with optional chapters on numerical optimization and provides a valuable numerical methods background for students taking an introductory optimization or operations research course. The book includes some mathematical proofs as samples of rigorous analysis but in most cases, uses only examples to illustrate the concepts. A MATLAB® guide and code are available for download.
