By Pablo Pedregal
This undergraduate textbook introduces scholars of technology and engineering to the attention-grabbing box of optimization. it's a distinct publication that brings jointly the subfields of mathematical programming, variational calculus, and optimum regulate, therefore giving scholars an total view of all elements of optimization in one reference. As a primer on optimization, its major target is to supply a succinct and obtainable advent to linear programming, nonlinear programming, numerical optimization algorithms, variational difficulties, dynamic programming, and optimum keep an eye on. necessities were saved to a minimal, even though a simple wisdom of calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations is thought. there are lots of examples, illustrations, and workouts through the textual content, making it an amazing ebook for self-study. utilized mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and scientists will all locate this advent to optimization tremendous worthy.

Computational Complexity of Sequential and Parallel Algorithms
This ebook supplies a compact but entire survey of significant ends up in the computational complexity of sequential algorithms. this is often through a hugely informative advent to the advance of parallel algorithms, with the emphasis on non-numerical algorithms. the cloth is so chosen that the reader in lots of situations is ready to stick with an identical challenge for which either sequential and parallel algorithms are mentioned - the simultaneous presentation of sequential and parallel algorithms for fixing permitting the reader to understand their universal and distinct beneficial properties.
