3 of 5 people found the following review helpful:
5.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to write a clear and didactic math book, June 17, 2005
This review is from: Nonlinear Programming (Classics in Applied Mathematics) (Paperback)
This book addresses only Nonlinear Programming Theory.
You will not find any algorithms, so that this book is not very practical.
The title should be "Nonlinear Programming Theory"

Why 5 stars ?

Main factor: The writing style.

That is, what I like most in this book is the way that Mangasarian wrote it. References to all important equations, definitions, etc. No "verbose excessive use" of english to explain math subjects but well defined equations. Concise exposition and proof of theorems using math simbols. That is: Math simbols to explain mathematics. Very clear style.

A very good example of how to write an excellent, didactic, precise and clear math book.
