From the reviews: "The account is quite detailed and is written in
a manner that will appeal to analysts and numerical practitioners
alike...they contain everything from rigorous proofs to tables of
numerical calculations.... one of the strong features of these
books...that they are designed not for the expert, but for those
who whish to learn the subject matter starting from little or no
background...there are numerous examples, and counter-examples, to
back up the theory...To my knowledge, no other authors have given
such a clear geometric account of convex analysis." "This
innovative text is well written, copiously illustrated, and
accessible to a wide audience"

Convex Analysis may be considered as a refinement of standard
calculus, with equalities and approximations replaced by
inequalities. As such, it can easily be integrated into a graduate
study curriculum. Minimization algorithms, more specifically those
adapted to non-differentiable functions, provide an immediate
application of convex analysis to various fields related to
optimization and operations research. These two topics making up
the title of the book, reflect the two origins of the authors, who
belong respectively to the academic world and to that of
applications. Part I can be used as an introductory textbook (as a
basis for courses, or for self-study); Part II continues this at a
higher technical level and is addressed more to specialists,
collecting results that so far have not appeared in books.

A Step-by-Step Approach-Teach Your Child the ABCs of How to Become
Rich is a sequential guide for parents to follow, from the
embryonic stage of pregnancy up through the time their child
graduates from high school and goes on to college. This didactic
tool shows parents how to be proactive in their children's lives,
primarily by passing wealth on to them-not just opulence but
abundance in every area of their lives-by being adept in financial
matters, educationally astute, spiritually grounded, and a healthy
lifestyle.
This book starts with illustrations of the ubiquitous character
of optimization, and describes numerical algorithms in a tutorial
way. It covers fundamental algorithms as well as more specialized
and advanced topics for unconstrained and constrained problems.
This new edition of Numerical Optimization contains computational
exercises in the form of case studies which help understanding
optimization methods beyond their theoretical description when
coming to actual implementation.
