poorly written & explained
very poorly written & explained.. sections of it are completely incomprehensible ...you cannot easily self-study this book
E**S
Terrible for people who are new to the field of optimization
While this book contains a collection of fundamental results in the field, it is difficult to recommend this book to learn the subject. The text lacks clarity, and seems to move from one result to the next without much explanation. The proofs are hard to follow, often omitting important steps, and, to a reader who is unfamiliar with the field, seemingly draw conclusions from thin air. In addition, authors often use unfamiliar concepts and notation without explaining their meaning, sometimes making the text impenetrable to people who are new to optimization theory.
