5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent textbook for students
The book covers ordinary optimization problems (constrained and unconstrained) and nonstochastic continuous-time dynamic problems. Its chapter on numerical theory and its appendix on related books are particular useful. The book presents optimization problems in a very understandable way. With many examples and graphic illustrations, students would be able to...

This review is from: Constrained Optimization in the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory (Hardcover)
The book covers ordinary optimization problems (constrained and unconstrained) and nonstochastic continuous-time dynamic problems. Its chapter on numerical theory and its appendix on related books are particular useful. The book presents optimization problems in a very understandable way. With many examples and graphic illustrations, students would be able to understand the materials easily. I would use it as a textbook for students in economics.

The authors present the calculus of variations without introducing technical details, and then followup with the details in later chapters. I find this approach confusing and I end up jumping back and forth. A much better alternative is Charles Fox, "An introduction to the calculus of variations", and it's less than $10.
