Numerical Methods for Unconstrained Optimization and Nonlinear Equations (Prentice-Hall Series in Computational Mathematics)

This book has become the standard for a complete state-of-the-art description of the methods for unconstrained optimization and systems of nonlinear equations. Originally published in 1983 it provides information needed to understand both the theory and the practice of these methods and provides pseudocode for the problems. The algorithms covered are all based on Newtons method or quasi-Newton methods and the heart of the book is the material on computational methods for multidimensional unconstrained optimization and nonlinear equation problems. The republication of this book by SIAM is driven by a continuing demand for specific and sound advice on how to solve real problems.
