This introductory textbook adopts a practical and intuitive approach,
rather than emphasizing mathematical rigor. Computationally oriented
books in this area generally present algorithms alone, and expect
readers to perform computations by hand, and are often written in
traditional computer languages, such as Basic, Fortran or Pascal. This
book, on the other hand, is the first text to use Mathematica to develop
a thorough understanding of optimization algorithms, fully exploiting
Mathematica's symbolic, numerical and graphic capabilities.
