Optimization is a rich and thriving mathematical discipline. The theory underlying current computational optimization techniques grows ever more sophisticated. The powerful and elegant language of convex analysis unifies much of this theory. The aim of this book is to provide a concise, accessible account of convex analysis and its applications and extensions, for a broad audience. It can serve as a teaching text, at roughly the level of first year graduate students. While the main body of the text is self-contained, each section concludes with an often extensive set of optional exercises....

Thirty years ago mathematical, as opposed to applied numerical, computation was difficult to perform and so relatively little used. Three threads changed that: the emergence of the personal computer; the discovery of fiber-optics and the consequent development of the modern internet; and the building of the Three M s Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.

We intend to persuade that Maple and other like tools are worth knowing assuming only that one wishes to be a mathematician, a mathematics educator, a computer scientist, an engineer or scientist, or anyone else who wishes/needs to...

Borwein is an authority in the area of mathematical optimization, and his book makes an important contribution to variational analysis

Provides a good introduction to the topic

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management, MKM 2006, held in Wokingham, UK, August 2006. The book presents 22 revised full papers. Coverage extends to the mathematical knowledge management at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, library science, and scientific publishing. The papers are organized in topical sections on proof representations, proof processing, knowledge extraction, knowledge representation, as well as systems and tools.
