This review is from: Optimal Control and the Calculus of Variations (Hardcover)
This is an excellent introduction to the calculus of variations and Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. It is written exceptionally clearly and gives the reader access to the calculus without becoming bogged down in lengthy diffcult proofs (which are left to the end). I recommend this book to any student or scientist who is not a pure mathematician but wishes to understand and apply analytic tools of optimization.

I have read a large number of books on this field. This is by far the most comprehensive book on the subject. It is suitable for self study, and gives a true jist for optimal control
