I had read/studied most of this book when I was a graduate student in chemical engineering at Syracuse University (in 1987-88). I also took two courses on the subject from Professor Troutman. I strongly recommend this book to any "newcomer" to the subject. The author is a mathematician, and a larg

The text provides an introduction to the variational methods used to formulate and solve mathematical and physical problems and gives the reader an insight into the systematic use of elementary (partial) convexity of differentiable functions in Euclidian space. By helping students directly character
<span>Although the calculus of variations has ancient origins in questions of ArΒ istotle and Zenodoros, its mathematical principles first emerged in the postΒ calculus investigations of Newton, the Bernoullis, Euler, and Lagrange. Its results now supply fundamental tools of exploration to both math

<p><span>This book develops the concepts of fundamental convex analysis and optimization by using advanced calculus and real analysis. Brief accounts of advanced calculus and real analysis are included within the book. The emphasis is on building a geometric intuition for the subject, which is aided
I found this textbook extremely teaching-oriented and an excellent introduction to a very hard subject, such as stochastic calculus. I would definitely recommend it for a Master's level financial engineering course.
