'Boyd and Vandenberghe have written a beautiful book that I strongly recommend to everyone interested in optimization and computational mathematics: Convex Optimization is a very readable introduction to this modern field of research.' Mathematics of Operations Research, 'I highly recommend it either if you teach nonlinear optimization at the graduate level for a supplementary reading list and for your library, or if you solve optimization problems and wish to know more about solution methods and applications.' International Statistical institute, '… the whole book is characterized by clarity. … a very good pedagogical book … excellent to grasp the important concepts of convex analysis [and] to develop an art in modelling optimization problems intelligently.'

Synopsis
Convex optimization problems arise frequently in many different fields. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, and shows in detail how such problems can be solved numerically with great efficiency. The book begins with the basic elements of convex sets and functions, and then describes various classes of convex optimization problems. Duality and approximation techniques are then covered, as are statistical estimation techniques. Various geometrical problems are then presented, and there is detailed discussion of unconstrained and constrained minimization problems, and interior-point methods. The focus of the book is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them. It contains many worked examples and homework exercises and will appeal to students, researchers and practitioners in fields such as engineering, computer science, mathematics, statistics, finance and economics., Convex optimization problems arise frequently in many different fields.

- b***a (367)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book Managing Risk in Information Systems by Darril Gibson arrived quickly, well-packaged, and exactly as described. The condition was excellent, with no marks or damage, and the quality of the text is outstanding for understanding IT risk management. Great value for the price, and the seller made the transaction smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended!
- 5***j (161)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem was as described. Only thing is Cell never uploaded the tracking after the purchase emailed him and then a few days later he provided the tracking.
- k***k (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseAt first, when bought, seller told me that the item is not available in the warehouse. Then asked if it is fine for me to wait for some time for them to ask their suppliers for this item. Then, in 1.5 months item was delivered. Overall I am really happy that the seler found a way to deliver the item to me in the end. Cheers!WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wai by Wong Kar Wai (#365043827155)
