Book Recommendation – Best Books for Studying Beginning Optimization

Question

Recently, I heard some talks about Optimization. And I am beginning to love that field.

I want to study beginning optimization, what book can you recommend for me? Also
what tips can you give to a beginner in studying this field?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

A very good Introductory book with detailed explanation

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linear-Nonlinear-Optimization-Igor-Griva/dp/0898716616

The tip I would give is just like all the other maths please practice and write detailed solution. In Optimization solutions can be very very long but i highly recommend solving them.

Also one often forgets the algorithm if not using every day so write a summary for list of methods you use and how to use them for quick reference.
