Optimization is an essential technique for solving problems in areas as


diverse as accounting, computer science and engineering. Assuming
only basic linear algebra and with a clear focus on the fundamental
concepts, this textbook is the perfect starting point for first- and
second-year undergraduate students from a wide range of
backgrounds and with varying levels of ability. Modern, real-world
examples motivate the theory throughout. The authors keep the text as
concise and focused as possible, with more advanced material treated
separately or in starred exercises. Chapters are self-contained so that
instructors and students can adapt the material to suit their own needs
and a wide selection of over 140 exercises gives readers the
