Summary: worst ever!!!
Review: I've had Dr. Venkat as a professor for 3 classes at RIT and he is by far the worst I have ever had. DO NOT BUY HIS BOOK! It will only make you dumber! That is how I feel after coming out of his class. I believe the reviewer that says the website is a main resource, he points us to the class site all the time with no helpful information, and because he can't answer the questions himself on the spot. Are you buying a book or a website? I think that's all the helpful information I have for now.

Summary: Great self teaching tool
Review: In this text the author chooses MATLAB as the tool in running computer-based optimization problems. This approach clearly covers all levels of optimization, and the book further supports this coverage through many helpful examples that balance theory with the application. The open-ended problems that are provided are a helpful mechanism for reinforcing the lessons of the text. The website that is a companion to the book, helped me access the reference links to the MATLAB software and the author's own personal site. This web site is a true lifeline to the book.
