N2  - This book provides the foundations of the theory of nonlinear optimization as well as some related algorithms and presents a variety of applications from diverse areas of applied sciences. The author combines three pillars of optimization-theoretical and algorithmic foundation, familiarity with various applications, and the ability to apply the theory and algorithms on actual problems--and rigorously and gradually builds the connection between theory, algorithms, applications, and implementation.
