From the reviews:
"The book is intended for readers who have an understanding of linear algebra, and the Taylor mean value theorems in several variables. It presents numerical approaches to nonlinear optimization which typically have been applied for 30-40 years to practical problems in science and engineering. ... Summing up, one could say that the author had an interesting idea to present the classical algorithmic methods while teaching contemporary portfolio theory." (Leszek S. Zaremba, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1083 (9), 2006)
"This book is a timely and very useful addition to the literature on practical mathematical optimization. ... Indeed, the outstanding and almost unique aspect of the work is the thorough integration of the methods with application ... . The text is very readable and will be easy to teach from. The passion of the author for, and his fascination with, optimization are conveyed to the reader. His mathematically flavored poems, scattered throughout the text, entertain and amuse ... ." (Jan A. Snyman, SIAM Review, Vol. 48 (1), 2006)
"This book contains many computational examples demonstrating the practical behavior of the proposed methods and their application to practical financial problems." (Mathematical Reviews, Zimmermann, K.)
